generator weirdness

[mrkane1952]

I added three more photos of my forward relay taken before I swapped
it out. (That's how I keep track of what goes where.) They're in the
same album as the previous posting.

I'm going to try to find some way to make the schematic readable. I
replaced my scanner today, so I may be able to break it into smaller
pieces you could print and stick together. I'll also look at the
"full schematic" set I received from BlueBird to check for variations.

Referring to the schematic, the rediline has only four DC connections
shown: two grounds and two Positive leads going to different relays
than the charging circuit. Don't see how removing it should affect
the charging.
