Questions are, is this ok to run to run like this, if not what kind of damage has been done? Would I cause any damage if I were to swap these wires back around? Does it affect how it runs? Any info? thanks, TB in NY.
1) As long as its working and charging its okay to run that way
2) If polarity is reversed and a gennys isnt Polarized before start up, the VR can be damaged buttttttt Im unsure it was ever reversed in the first place (or if so maybe it was corretly re polarized) and if its been working n charging okay then the VR must be okay NO HARM NO FOUL
3) If you swap you need to Polarize the genny before start up cuz otherwise it may damage the VR (if it aint broke dont fix it lol) ALSO if you swap polarity and it has an ammeter the leads needs swapped or it will read bass ackwards
4) If its a coil ignition the coil polarity needs to match the battery for best operation i.e. a polarity swap needs the coil leads swapped also. It will still run at the incorrect coil polarity but theres less spark energy. For Neg ground the coil + gets ignition switch switched voltage while - goes to distributor. For Pos ground the - is wired to ignition switch and + to coil
