The generator itself needs no modification. Connect the battery through a switch and cutout*. Polarize the generator if necessary by touching hot battery to the output post for half a second. Start engine and adjust 3rd brush for proper output, 14.5-15V. You're good to go.

*Cutout must be set for 12.6V. Diode type must be correct polarity.

Note voltage varies with rpm and load.
