[HAM] Alignment of Start Motor. Warning about exposed AC mains

[John Doyle]

No need to try it. Look at a schematic of a B3/C3. To the immediate left of 
the male plug you can see where the two wires go. One wire goes to the start 
motor and the other goes to the start switch and the run switch. I 
understand that the plug is non-polarized but, if the polarity of the plug 
is correct, you should have the neutral or grounded conductor going to the 
start motor. With the start and run switches in the off position you should 
have no voltage.
