OK, there will be three wires coming out of the generator (the earth goes to the casing/frame)
1) Generator output +ve which connects to the +ve terminal on the ammeter.
2) Shunt (run winding) field coil +ve which connects to the rheostat end point.
3) Series (starter winding) field coil which connects to the Start button.
The wiper (moving contact) on the rheostat is connected to earth.
The Generator Output winding is a thick wire that connects to the +ve brushes.
The Series field winding is also a thick wire but does not go to the brushes.
Best regards,
Chris.
