wiring to-20 need help

For a positive ground system, the positive terminal of the ammeter goes to the negative battery post, generally at the starter. All electrical loads (ignition, lights, accessories) and the charging line go to the negative ammeter post. All loads have their own switches, but the charging line depends on the cutout or the voltage regulator for automatic disconnect when the engine is not running.

Battery to starter switch to ammeter to BAT terminal on VR (voltage regulator). Key swich connected to Load terminal on VR and then to ignition primary circuit. Generator field connected to Field on VR. Don't know if this makes sense to you.

Disconect the black wire with the yellow stripe from the starter switch and also the black wire with the yellow traces fron the bat terminal of the regulator. Tape the ends of this wire.

From the BAT terminal of the regulator, run a 12 gauge wire up to a terminal on the ammeter. From the other terminal of the ammeter run another 12 gauge wire to the hot side of the starter switch.

To determine if the ammeter is installed correctly,start the engine and open the throttle to until a definite delection is noted. If the ammeter reads in the discharge direction , reverse the leads on the ammeter terminals.

Hope this helps.
