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 altyou. Tell them to check it and then watch how they hook it up. If youknowwhat type of Geo it came off of, the person checking will look up thewiringdiagram to hook it up. Plus you get it tested to make sure that it'sworkingcorrectly. It should be pretty easy to see the wiring when he does it.Youmight even write it down--offer the explanation that maybe the vehicleiswired wrong if you feel compelled to offer one. For what it's worth,mostinternally regulated alternators only use 2 wires--one from the switchthat"excites" the alt, and the cable to the battery, (sometimes 3 wires--andbox--someplace
that's the one that depends--like to the idiot light or fusewhere it can "sense" current usage). It should be pretty easy to wire.manuals
Another option is to visit your local library--they should have shopfor Geos or can get one. Trace the path of the alt wiring--it only goesin
2or 3 places. If you want, mail me the particular alt info and I'll lookintoit. I've never done it on a Loop, but I've switched a number on carsoverthe years.there

Hi.
The Guzzi you see on the map in Columbus, GA is going to stay
ifIthisdon't get some help connecting this alternator. I've seen photos ontolist of this conversion so I know at least some of you know what has
bethedone to hook it up electricaly. Please help a fellow Looper. I will besearchedone not making the rallys until I can get this sorted out. I haveofon 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 fewthethe list members had done this before and would be willing to shareexpectknowedge.
I know that it takes a while to get info and type a reply and don'ttheyan immediate answer just tell me that someone is willing to help whenget the time.
Only riding in my dreams,
