Remove the fan belt (very important). Disconnect the arm and field wires from the generator. Using an alligator wire or spare jumper wire, connect arm to field on the generator. Then connect the negative side (ungrounded side) of the battery to this arm/field circuit. The generator should spin in the direction of the engine rotation (clockwise). It will only spin at a brisk speed, but should get up to speed quickly.

Edit: field should be grounded not connected to power. Had it backwards.
