Ok... down and dirty.... At the junction, the wires need to be on four separate lugs. Imagine for a minute that each winding is a AA battery with a positive side and a negative side. When placed end to end in a flashlight, you have the 2.5 volts with 1.25 volts at the center. That is series. Now, take those same two batteries and place them next to each other, negative on one side and positive on the other, that's parallel and you'll have 1.25 volts with twice the amps. At the head, you need to disconnect the wires leaving the head. You will take the red and white from one winding and place it over the black and white of the other winding. In this case of this generator, a white from one winding is going to be with the red and the white from the other winding is going to over the black. That'll give you 25 amps at 125 volts. You don't have the right twist lock to take advantage of the new set up, nor the right Gage wire if you do want to change it out. You'll need a 25 and push button circuit breaker and 10 Gage wire.
I hope this is not confusing.
