Default Generac Alternator 6244-1

Am helping a friend with a VERY old Generac Alternator. It appears to have potential. The info on it is:

Generac Alternator, Model 6244-1, Serial 0314803, 4,000 watt.

We can find no markings for what brand engine is on it. It is a single cylinder with the c'shaft vertical. The engine is mechanically fine, but we need the electrical hook ups for it and the generator (alternator?). The po did some wire snipping and such and we'd like to get it back to useable condition. Where can I find info on both, the engine and the schematics?

Is the generator belt driven, if so it sounds like an RV generator. Post a pic and myself or someone may have the info.

Good guess, BGunn. I just found out today it came from a 1965 Roycraft Trailer Coach. And that it is belt drive. Will get the pics Sunday and post.
