Anyone know what wires go where on this dynostarter ?

Yes it should spin if you connect a supply to "30" and D-

You need the control box as well to use it There is also usually a panel that incorporates the starter button, a warning light and a run/charge switch

Older control boxes have the solenoid for the starter built in. Replacements/ more modern ones have the solenoid separate. I suspect that the modern control box is solid state

30 is the +ve connection for the starter (A/30 on a Siba)
DF the field connection
D+ the output to the control box
D- the negative connection ( Bosch only)



If you have/obtain the old type controller 51/30 is the battery connection, 50 is the connection from the starter button. A is the connection to the starter 30 or A/30. 61/D+ is the connection for D+.

I have scanned the info I have but I believe there are some other variations.

Maybe you will find more on line or in the Volvo penta manuals.

now time to strip the engine down.

Well that's a start.

W-shop manual for the MD1 is at http://www.privateer26.org/pdf/Volvo_MD1-D1-MD2-D2.pdf if you don't have it.
