You might try taking the Alt to a shop who rebuilds auto alternators and
starters and see if they can tell you which plug wire does what (diode,
field, whatever).

If you can find someone with a Metro, ask if you can look in their engine
compartment. Maybe the wires will either be color coded, or easily
traceable. I'd love to do this mod on my bike, but I'm not gonna fix what
ain't broke, especially if that alternator has a lot of gold in it! I used
to own a VW Rabbit, so I know what you mean by that. They're cursed with
expensive replacement parts too.
Hope this helps! Good luck.

Thank you for the reply. The alternator was purchased at AutoZone and I
did
 have them test it but it is done on a fool proof machine that will tell
you
 if it is good or bad but not anything else cable and adaptors are not
explained just connect wire d to adapter a type stuff. The counter person
knows nothing but how to look up parts. This alternator is for a Geo
metro.
 12volt 55amp rebuilt. From the price it has a significant gold content.
The
 label on it reads

World Class
remanufactured
14850 34
BARCODES
made in Japan J104

On the back of the alternator ther is the output post and a plug
receptical
 with three spade connectors. I think all the Metros use the same
alternator.
I will try again to find more info on my own but any help would be
appreciated.

Go to an auto parts house that can check alternators--take the Geo alt
with
 you. Tell them to check it and then watch how they hook it up. If you
know
 what type of Geo it came off of, the person checking will look up the
wiring
 diagram to hook it up. Plus you get it tested to make sure that it's
working
 correctly. It should be pretty easy to see the wiring when he does it.
You
 might even write it down--offer the explanation that maybe the vehicle
is
 wired wrong if you feel compelled to offer one. For what it's worth,
most
 internally regulated alternators only use 2 wires--one from the switch
that
 "excites" the alt, and the cable to the battery, (sometimes 3
wires--and
 
 that's the one that depends--like to the idiot light or fuse
box--someplace
 where it can "sense" current usage). It should be pretty easy to wire.

Another option is to visit your local library--they should have shop
manuals
 for Geos or can get one. Trace the path of the alt wiring--it only goes
in
2
 or 3 places. If you want, mail me the particular alt info and I'll look
into
 it. I've never done it on a Loop, but I've switched a number on cars
over
 the years.

Hi.

The Guzzi you see on the map in Columbus, GA is going to stay
there
if
 I
 don't get some help connecting this alternator. I've seen photos on
this
 
 list of this conversion so I know at least some of you know what has
to
be
 
 done to hook it up electricaly. Please help a fellow Looper. I will
be
 the
 
 one not making the rallys until I can get this sorted out. I have
searched
 
 on the net for an electrical diagram for this alternator and can find
nothing
there are no marking for the electrical connections in the plug, this
alternator was very expensive and I bought it with the idea that a
few
 of
 
 the list members had done this before and would be willing to share
the
 
 knowedge.
I know that it takes a while to get info and type a reply and don't
expect
 
 an immediate answer just tell me that someone is willing to help when
they
 
 get the time.

Only riding in my dreams,

Allan
