I'm not sure what you mean by that. The text under the photo of the regulator with numbered terminals on it at http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford/corvair/dynamo.html says "Number 1 goes to the battery, 2 is the blue one from the dynamo, number 3 is from the blue and white dynamo wire (although I don't think it really matters which is which since it's AC), number 4 is to the positive side of the idiot light (the other end of the bulb goes directly to ground), and number 5 is power from my ignition switch (this is what enables the regulator to charge, not an output from the regulator)." When I say "Number 1 goes to the battery" I mean that's where the "system is powered". I charge the battery using the big #10 wire from the number one terminal of the regulator, and from the battery another #10 wire leads to the bus. This is just car, where the battery acts as a giant capacitor and helps buffer the power somewhat. Best I can tell, my system is wired just like the lawn mower, but simpler. That's not my drawing...it came out of the JD manual.
