The Altenator. The little bolt like object that is screwed at the back of this great creation. Any thoughts as to which wire goes there from the starter? That is what I can't seem to find, also, what color is the wire that goes there? Any help is much appreciated!

 

I think it is black and red. This is not a ground and the wire does not go to the starter though. That wire that bolts up to the small bolt on the back of the alternator, goes right to the positive terminal of the battery, not the starter. That wire is to feed or charge the battery back up. It needs to be a pretty thick wire to, like a 8 - 10 guage maybe.

 

Should the wire spark though when I touch the wire to the alt? So the wire that comes from the battery goes to the knobby thing on the back of the alt? Righton...

 

Well it might spark but for the most part it shouldn't, unless you have the ignition on or lights or something. If something is on when it sparks, that is fine then. I On the positive terminal on the battery should have two wires. One is thick (4-6 guage) this goes to the starter. The other is smaller (8-10 guage) this one goes to the alternator.

 

If you touch the 8-10ga wire to the alternator casing it will spark- the casing is grounded through the alt. bracketry- and as stated the wire connects to the battery.

 

Any of you have a diagram of this? I am so incompedent with this electrical sh*t!
