First, does your B have a magnito or does it have battery ignition? The two wire connector has one wire that goes to the BAT terminal, as you described. The other wire goes to the ignition circuit. If you have battery ignition, run this to the igniton side of the main switch, through a 47 ohm 1 watt resistor. You can also use a diode - with the polarity band facing the alternator. If you have a magnito you'll need to install a switch that goes to both the battery at one end and the alternator at the other end. A momentary push button switch will work, but you need to remember to push it after every engine start. I like the idea of using the 47 ohm resistor, even if not needed. It will limit current in case of a short. The large BAT terminal at the alternator goes to the ammeter, as it would have with the original generator. I presume you've changed the system from 6 volt positive ground to 12 volt negative ground. If not, you need to do this before attaching an alternator wire to anything.
