Transformer wiring

I have a 250v to 2x24v transformer but I am getting strange readings from the 24v side, definitely not getting 24v. I have another 24v transformer but I don't know what wires on the original transformer is positive and negative. Anyone got any ideas?
The picture shows the 4 wires coming from the 24v side.

What are the strange readings that you're getting?

The voltage doesn't stabalize it jumps about constantly

Sounds like it's going to earth intermittently, perhaps a short on the winding?

I've put on another transformer but the machine still isn't working so hasn't helped haha

Are you getting proper voltage readings from that one?

Yes, I am on that one - just don't know if it's wired correctly. haha
