I bought a slave cable for my M151 so that I could start my 1951 M-Series 30kw
generator w/o having all the hassles of finding 2 batteries and cables.

When I 1st started to plug the cable into my M151A2, it started to spark. I
cursed at the dealer that sold it (used) to me thinking it was shorted etc.

My ohm meter confirmed that it was OK. My volt meter confirmed that my 2 pin
(US) slave receptical on the Jeep was wired backwards! D you know how much fun
it is to install one of those units behind the heater...?

Anyways, I got the Jeep all fixed and plugged in. I was starting to plug in the
generator and it sparked (De Ju Ve all over again). The generator slave
receptical was marked backwards from the Jeep and wired that way!

So much for standardization!!!!
