Title: Three Prong Yet Again
Post by: cincyjack on December 25, 2020, 11:33:37 am

I apologize in advance for belaboring the topic but as a newb I seek the comfort of community expertise.
I’ve rewired the mighty Kalamazoo with a three-pronger.
Seem copascetic?
Green to O ring screwed under transformer bolt and solder added.
White to PT lead.
Black first to end of fuse (opted for fuse first, as opposed to switch).
One light wire goes to fuse out, other light wire to switch wire and PT lead.
Other switch wire to fuse out.
Hope this makes sense, thanks.

Your indicator light needs to go from hot to neutral. See Sluckey's AO-39 schematic for wiring a 120V lamp.

If its the traditional fender style pilot light youll need to wire it completely differently.
