On the side of my generator in the normal mounted position there are two terminals about one and one half inches or so apart. The top terminal has a "G" stamped into the generator case. Is this a ground and where should I ground it if it is. It has been pulled out and I just want to be sure before I try and hook it up again.
Any knowledge appreciated.

The "G" terminal should be connected to ground. The "F" terminal is the field and should be connected to the regulator box..

thanks for your response!
I figured that out after looking around a bit. I just wanted to be sure before I start it up. Had my car painted and paint and body shops can be notorious for not hooking stuff up correctly.
Thanks again
Dave
