I am wireing my Eko 25, and found out it is color coded very strange. It has a blue wire, a green wire with a yellow stripe and a brown wire. Anyone know whitch one is the ground, nuetral and hot wire? Thanks in advance.

To me, it sounds like a 220v wire color for over-seas. The Green w/ yellow is defiantly ground. I BELIEVE the blue would be the "hot" and the brown would be the neutral. I don't think it would matter - it SHOULD run either way(on an ELECTRIC MOTOR in can attest to)
 
It had a real weird plug on it. I don't think it would matter as long as I got the ground right, but reverse pallarity happens but I don't know if it would matter unless it ran a computer. Any more comments would be helpfull though.
 
I found out the brown is hot, the blue is nuetral and the green is ground.
