Oliver........
A little known fact is that the terminal sizes have aways been different
as far as I know....
If you had to pry one a lot and squeeze teh other a lot its likely to be
in backwards.
otherwise disconnect the Gererator and check ground to the hot with a
voltmeter drectly on
the generator aas its isolated from the battery.
If I remember my motor theory right that is.....
