blade rectifier wiring
mad-butcher - 1/6/05 at 05:28 PM

I never got a rectifier with my blade, got one today but need to wire it up 3 normal spades on top 2 large underneath..
I assume the 3 top are the yellow alternator wires, am I also right in assuming as looking at photo below red/white on the left earth on the right
the other problem is the starter relay side does the red/white wire go to the battery side or to the starter motor side of the 4 pins and do i leave the other wire blank as i have a takeoff from the battery to my ignition switch
many thanks

You assume correctly about the wire position, poz, neg and alternator.
Red/White goes to the battery side to charge the battery (via the fuse).
The other 2 can be left blank but you probably will want to use them to fire the solenoid, to send the electric to the starter motor, you can't do that with the ignition switch it wont take the current needed by the starter.
Its at this point you relise that the Blade loom-Sierra stalks-extend it a bit, is great in theory but a f**k pig in practice.
Check out one or two of the guys diagrams on here ((Shortie's is particularly good), also the early 'Blade Haynes manual has a good diagram.
HTH ( As you may gather its fresh in my mind)
