Voltage regulator connections
Posted: Sat Aug 14, 2010 8:00 pm
When I bought my Haflinger the engine was removed and all of the wiring was disconnected. I had never laid a wrench on a Haflinger before, so this is all new to me. So far it's been a great experience, mostly due to the help of my buddy Jim LaGuardia.
I'm at the point where it's time to connect the regulator, and I have a wiring diagram, but it's confusing and the wording is not legible (or is it German?). Making the wrong connection here can be costly, so I need the assistance of those in the audience.
From left to right, I see a row of screw-type post connectors. The first is B+, which I assume is battery positive, which a red wire that comes from the starter solenoid post. Next is B-, which I assume is negative, or chassis ground. I have no obvious wire to connect here, so do I run a jumper to the frame or engine? Next id DF, which I assume is the field winding, a yellow wire which connects at the alternator. Next is 61...what is that? Next is D+, which I assume is the positive lead from the alternator, a heavy red wire. Last is D-, which is the braided negative lead from the alternator. Am I right so far? The jumper that is above/left of center is OK as is, I assume? I have a red wire which is in the same jacket as B+, a small #18 or so, not sure where it goes (to 61?). And I have a leftover red wire, duh.
Any help would be appreciated, you can open your engine compartment and write back a PM or post here. No hurry on my part, I'm still waiting on seals from Austria.
