How to Wire a Vermeer V465D1

Wire the discharge side of the engine’s ammeter to the equipment’s starter engine using 10-gauge copper wire. On the ammeter’s opposite side, the charge terminal, connect one wire to the alternator’s positive output terminal, which may be marked with red or by a "+" sign on the terminal. Connect the ammeter’s charge terminal to the battery terminal in the V4565D1’s ignition switch.

Wire the V456D’s ignition switch to the remaining components using insulated copper wire. Connect the terminal marked "starter," or "S," to the starter engine, the C terminal to the V456D1’s carburetor and the D terminal to the negative terminal on the V465D1’s ignition coil. If the engine requires an oil pressure switch, wire this to the remaining terminal on the ignition switch.

Connect the positive, or red terminal, on the V465D1’s ignition coil to the alternator’s regulator using the lead provided. Connect the distributor’s red wire to the ignition coil’s positive terminal. You should have three connections -- ignition switch, alternator and distributor -- on the coil’s positive terminal when wired properly.

Wire the ignition coil’s negative – which may be unmarked or indicated by black – to the distributor using the black lead provided. Using 10-gague copper wire, connect the equipment’s high-temperature shutoff switch to the coil’s negative terminal. As with the coil’s positive terminal, a properly wired negative terminal houses three connections: the ignition switch, temperature shutoff and distributor.

Connect the ignition coil’s center post to the distributor’s center post using insulated copper wire. Finish wiring the engine by using spark plug wires to connect each plug to the appropriate terminal on the distributor.
