Default ground

david

They normally have the ground connection through the body or housing of the generator itself ...to the motor ..then onto the chasiss ..onto the body etc... It's worthwhile installing a heavy braid ground strap from the motor to the cab at somewhere convenient. A lot of poor starting problems can be traced to poor grounds . I think some vehicles have a dedicated ground wire from the gene as well ..depends on how it is set up..look at your wiring diagram.
