Wiring help please!!!!

Hello…
I am a new owner of a 73 Beetle. The new engine has a generator on it and the previous owner had an Alternator on it so the wires are modified.
I would like to go back to the Generator set up for now due to $$$. The wires are different for the Gen hook-up of course. The wires are there just some cut off. I believe there is a large red wire, a smaller red wire, a light brown wire and a blue wire in the harness.
How do these connect to the Generator?
I have a schematic but it is ambiguous and the color codes do not match my 73. I do have a regulator under the seat too.


Any guidance would be greatly appreciated…my new engine from GEX International runs great but I have no charging system at present.
Thanks Mucho
Dave

Go here:

Scroll down about half way to the "Alternators/Generators" section.

You may have to "reverse engineer" the set up, since this deals mostly with Gen to Alt conversion. But you should be able to figure it out.
