Electrical Guru's;
I mounted the brand new 10 HP on the Super Bronc today. I attempted to make some final wire connections and when trying to hood up the alternator, there was a spark and a poof of smoke. OH NO!
I have two wires coming from the engine from the alternator...a red one and a green one. I hooked them up according to the wiring diagram herein attached. Obviously something is not right. The wiring diagram which came with the new engine was different enough as to render it useless for my needs.
Take a look at the wiring diagram. There is a lot on it but really only the alternator, the key switch, and the battery are important for this problem. The master key switch only completes the circuit (when turned on) allowing battery power to be supplied to the entire system. Would the red wire (from the alternator) go to the master key switch and the green wire to engine ground? Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thank you!
On the diagram, its a little hard to see but, the alternator is on the far left side of the diagram second square from the top. The battery is up slightly to the right, followed by the starter solenoid to the right of that, and finally the on-off master key switch to the right of that.
