I took the advice from some of you in an earlier post and purchased an alternator. I finally found one of the alternators that are housed in a C40 like body and still accepts the mechanical tach cable. It also comes with directions on how to wire it through the old voltage regulator. I have two questions: 1) On the old generator, there are two wires (F and D+) that only go one way since the posts are different sizes and the wires can only go on one way. On the new alternator however, even though it looks very close to a C40 generator, there are a few subtle differences. My directions show the two wires going to the back of the alternator in the same way, however the new alternator connections are different, with one in the back and another on the side near the back. How would I tell which is the F and which is the D+? 2) Also, the directions said to make sure that I have wire rated at 40 amp minimum-how do I know what the rating is? I am definitely no electrician, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
