Meh, alternators are for pussies, why not cut that thing off and ditch it?
Dead weight, I tell you...:)....(unless you have some unreasonable
attachment to things like fuel pressure...)
Anyway Klaus has two good sized red ones too, but they hook up to a plug
style connector in his case. Seems a bit redundant, but in his case, the
one had 1/4" of insulation missing, and was the only useful one of the two,
as the other was hanging by a single strand. Blue wire will be the exciter.
