Blue 50 convert Backyard Mechanic Registered: 02/09/02 Posts: 237 Loc: Issaquah, Wa.	I built an engine rack with radiator and small gas tank so I can run my engine before mounting in chassis. I'm not using an electrolox ignition so have wired it from an insulated terminal on side of distributer to DIST side of coil, From BAT side of coil to RHS of ammeter. LHS of ammeter to battery term. on starter. When I hook up the battery I figure it should start and run. My question is the Gen. connection. My gen has one wire off the relay/cutout, I think this should be connected to the RHS of the ammeter. Am I figuring right? _________________________ Dick
