i am trying to wire a mc18 loom onto a mc16 motor but the mc16 motor only has a 3 prong plug on it and the 18 has a 4prong.

the exta wire is an earth right???

how do i get the other wires wired in the correct order when putting it into the new 4 prong plug???

Which bit of the motor are we talking about? The generator?

i believe with your mc16, the ground would be one of those three current wires.
