Have I got this hooked up right?

How did you know which wire to ground to the mounting screw, and which one to the cut out terminal? Ed Saniewski

It looks correct as long as the right wire is grounded as Ed mentioned. With the band removed you should be able to follow the wire that leads to the field windings, and this will be the wire to ground under the cutout mounting screw.

From that picture the cutout isn't even in the circuit and the battery is connected full time to the generator. Without having a switch or fuse to disconnect it the battery would soon be dead and the generator cooked.
Does the generator work?

The first time I hooked the battery up the generator smoked out the back (see my previous post), I thought the cutout was stuck but now I know what the real problem was. I plan on trying it again now that I have the new cutout in place
Thanks

Our fingers are crossed as well.
