Help! 57 Johnson 35 gen kit wiring.

[jeffersonsharp]

I forgot to mark my connections when I removed my generator and now I don’t know how to wire it back up 😳 😕 . I see from the wiring diagram that the yellow wire goes to the armature and the blue to the field but there aren’t any marks on the generator to identify which is which. There is a dot of yellow paint by one of the connections but I’m not shure who even put it there. Does anyone know which is which? Thanks

They are usually stamped by the terminals, The larger bolt is for the armature if that helps.

No stamps, bolts are the same size, but it’s all good, I just rembered I took a picture so that solves it. Thanks.

Just for the record, the gen terminal bolts are not the same size. The Arm post is a 10-32 and the Fld post is 8-32 thread.
