generator weirdness

M.R.

I cannot thank you enough for taking time for posting the front
relay pictures. Mine is connected correctly, but I just have one
small lead where you have two. Maybe that is not a problem, I don't
know. I hope you have a great New Years Day. It is cold this morning
(in the 20s) but I expect to do some work this afternoon. Thanks
again.
