I am not sure whether the alternator on my Atomic 4 is standard or aftermarket... it is not outputting power. Does anyone know if these alternators are right or left handed? Perhaps the alternator is spinning the wrong way? Any other diagnostic ideas?

Alternators produce power in either direction. Take it to an alternator repair shop for testing.
