Changing back to a generator on my moke and am unsure if the polarity of the generator has been changed to negative earth. How to ensure it is negative earth if someone who owned the generator before me didn't do it? Thanks |

if its a std issue Lucas mini generator then all you need to do is hook up the battery (Neg earth or pos earth) depending on what you want make sure your coil is wired to suit also then turn the ign key on & it will automatically Pole itself start the car & test output charge with multi-meter to confirm all is well |

....... and change the wires around on the heater fan too, otherwise it will try to suck air out of the cabin

I wouldn't take anything for granted. you run the risk of ruining the Voltage regulator or cutout points. It takes two seconds to just ark between the F wire and the B+ on regulator box and job is done. |
