Hi,

If your pumps are standard Pierburg pumps supplied with the Rotax 914,  
positive terminal is M4 and negative is M5. If memory serves me right, 
the top of the pumps is marked.
You'll find all the necessary details in the Rotax 914 Installation Manual.
If you don't have it, a pdf version is downloadable on my website :
