But he said:

the grounding strap had been attached to the 
generator frame...and that turned out to be the culprit..the connecting spade

Connecting spade??   that's a wire terminal....crimped......usually attached 
to the 1/4-20 screw on the generator body....

The Bat NEG  strap on an early is soldered at the bolt holes...AFAIR
