Ok I have a new to me naa that I bought last year. Started right up and ran like a top every time I used it this fall. Generator started squealing and stopped charging the battery so I took it off and had it checked and had it rebuilt since it was shot. Put back on today reconnected the battery and tried to start it for about five minutes. Something started smelling hot so I quit and noticed that the battery cablewas just starting to smoke. It's a 6 V system with a 6 V generator and I had The battery positive ground. Everything should be hooked up exactly the way it was when I took it off. So what have i done wrong? Do I need to polarize the generator? It tried to start several times just wouldn't grab and fire up. I'm a little lost any help would be great thanks
