Rectifier / Regulator Question

[BassCliff]

Hypothetically speaking...

Just to add to the confusion (therefore I don't mention it often), I have gotten a Honda regulator (I don't remember what year or model) that had EIGHT wires connected to it. Had the usual three yellow inputs, but had two red outputs, two green grounds and a black sense wire. Evidently they had some incentive that year to use the same gauge wire for everything, so they used two wires in parallel to handle the extra current.

Mr. Steve,

So let's say I have a "friend" who picked up an extra late-model Honda r/r, just to have around as a spare, and it had the extra green and red wires of which you speak. Where would these be connected? Could you connect one green to the battery(-) and the other to the frame? Would you connect both red outputs or just one? My "friend" wants to know.

Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff
