Do you know?

Cheers,

Chris.
Which one do you have?

If its two yellow wires then its the older single phase in which case line the dot up with the woodruff key

If its the later 3 phase (3 yellow wires) look at the end of the crank you'll see it has one short slot and one slightly longer thats goes up onto the shoulder before the threads start, line the dot up with the longer slot.

Hope that helps.....K
