your battery side should look like this pic.... there should also be 2 smaller wires coming from your control box(panel) that hook up to the respective + and - terminals on the starter, then there is the small trigger wire to activate the solenoid. Your other post got deleted and I forgot what I wrote on there, but I will be back to town on Wednesday if they don't get you squared away by then.

notice the Negative from the battery goes to the starter body(big body), and the positive goes to the solenoid(small body)

This is how your starter should look.... nothing should be connected to the output wire of the solenoid that goes to the starter except for the starter itself. There are 2 additional wires IIRC that MUST be connected to the solenoid and starter for the + and - to the control box, in Addition to the trigger wire for the solenoid that looks like you had hooked up.

i know that should it be red or black to connect the slave to the starter p55Y2n or the red arrow pointing to the black wire is the p55Y2n?

J15 is the slave. The pos side of the slave goes to the pos side of BT1. The neg side of the slave goes to the ground stud. There, wire #P55Y24 goer from the ground stud to the starter

Please keep in mind that this is all off the top of my head. The slave +(P50K2) can also connect to the BT1+ or the + side on the solenoid(this is how mine is run on the 003a). Hopefully it helps you to differentiate the wires.
thank you so much this helps alot

@Vic_949 ,

I think you have gotten a lot of answers - but I don't think we have answered the NATO wiring question that you had when I explained what a Slave Port was for. My apologies.

What you need to know - from the Slave Port:
The single pin that pokes out is the POSITIVE Post
The "sleeve" part of the NATO connector (about 1 1/2 diameter) is the NEGATIVE Contact.

Picture below is of the Slave Cable

This is the NATO Connector that will be on the outside of your generator.
The Center Post = Positive
The ring just under the TI2000-227 numbers will be Negative (Ground)

EDIT: If you need an ADAPTER to convert from single pin to double bin, information is below.

I could be mistaken, but that looks like an 8xx slave port. If memory serves, the 003a is a round 2pin(side by side pins) instead of the round single pin.
