Federal Fireball FB-1 Wiring Question

[mls60442]

I had to replace the cord and grommet for one of my Fireballs. I was unable to confirm which post was positive and which as negative to reconnect the cord? Can someone tell me which post to connect the positive wire to? Thanks for the help in advance!

@dmathieu likely can.

Looking at it as in the above picture, the left terminal should be negative/ground, the right positive.

Okay, thank you for the reply. The reflector should be turning clockwise, correct?

Clockwise is correct. If you look at the wire that goes to the light, that is where the positive connects. Both motor and light wires are soldered to that post below the bar. Just an easy reference for others.

Thanks for the information. It appeared as if both posts ran to the motor but I probably didn't look closely enough.

Both do run to the motor. 1 pos, 1 neg.
Pos wire goes under rotating assy to bulb.
Very simple wiring design.

Ah, that makes sense. Thank you again!
