<x-flowed>I'm not sure if that stock wire should be used as it was designed to 
carry 360watts, not 840!  I'm not an electrical engineer but I'd be 
cautious about this method and would recommend using the supplied 
battery cable when you get the chance as the stock battery to starter 
cable has a much bigger cross sectional area than the stock generator 
supply wire.
