Electrical Gremlins
Hey guys, have had a lot of yall be very helpful in the past and calling in again.
Ive replaced batteries, cables and some pig tails, but i goofed and didnt take a picture of the starter relay before i took everything off. Now that i have all the wires fixed i cant remember whats positive or negative to put on the buss bars, do any of you have pictures or a diagram?
P.S. its the wiring on the passenger fender if that helps.
THANKS!!!

The lone wire with a ring terminal goes down to the starter. The rest of the wires go off to everything else, and basically just use the solenoid as a terminal block instead of an extra connection someplace else.
Obviously the trigger wire from the ignition connects to the little terminal on the top.

Solved!
Thanks for the pictures guys, i hadnt seen this till today, but instead of jamming all the wires on the terminal, i put in a couple buss bars for the time being. Got her to crank, but smoked the alternator ground wire, because the post was pinching the plug wires against the coolant hose. Waiting on a new plug since it was busted up from the last guy, then i should be good to go.
Side note, where did yall put that ground wire, really dont want to smoke it again lol.
