Basically, the armature wiring post connects to a brush in the generator (other brush is grounded) and the field wiring post connects to field coil winding. The field post will NOT connect to a carbon brush.
Maybe able to see this if you can take off the band around the brushes/armature.
someone else could verify--I have an alternator.

On most if not all, the generator's armature terminal is noticeably larger than the field terminal, since the armature connection handles much more current.

Unfortunately, Park, both terminals are the same size. I'll go out and try Richards suggestion.

thanks all

Good info Richard. Just wired the generator using your earlier suggestion. Once I removed the band I could trace the terminal that was wired to the brush. So onward I go with further wiring adventures.

thanks guys I'll get her done.

If Park didn't veto it, then it must be OK~~~
