Positive Ground Cable

Post by Texasblue »

I converted my 59 Dexta from Alternator back to generator. I was re-wiring it with a new harness and noticed it shows to ground the positive battery cable and the ground cable goes to the starter solenoid. Is this correct, this is a first for me. I thought if you grounded the positive terminal that all hell would break loose. Please advise.

Thank you,

Randy

Randy that is the way mine is wired. Positive ground and negative to the starter. I have to be careful every time I hook a meter or charger up to it.
