Hey guys need some help with my alternator. Im pretty sure its fried Im going to have it bench tested tomorow. I just finished my rebuild and I started it and it runs for about 10seconds then bogs, battery light pops on and the fuel pump (walbro 255) starts screaming, and then dies out. As the battery light comes on the fuel press. climbs to about 55psi. I noticed that I tore some wires coming out of the alternator when installing the freshened up motor. One is Green w/ a yellow tracer and the other one I can not tell the color of because its so short. Are these wires signal to trip the relay? This car ran about a month ago and I didnt have the problem, its kind of weird. Also the ground coming off of it (18gauge one with black connector) is grounded to my oil sending unit? This puzzles me, anyone that can point me in the right direction please let me know. I obviousely F'd something up.

Thanks in advanced guys.
