Hi Mr. gshub,

Can you clarify? What component are we talking about?

The "generator", otherwise known as the stator, will have only three yellow wires. These are all output "legs". There is no ground wire.

The regulator, sometimes called the r/r (for rectifier/regulator) can have 5, 6, or 7 wires depending on the part you are using. Ground wires are usually black, but could be green.

The battery should have a big black wire for frame ground and a big red wire that goes to the "hot" terminal of the starter solenoid.


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff
