wiring Tecumseh electric start

[FatDog]

I bought a Tem. PowerSport 6.5 to power the BSR i am building.
Thankfully the Operator's Manual that came with it tells me how to put gas in the tank and how to remove the air filter http://perr.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_rolleyes.gif , but in that i was trying to actually build the racer this weekend,
i was wondering if anyone knew how to wire the wiring harness to a starter button (4 leads in harness), how/where to install a battery to the starter and alternator (if in fact this thing has an alternator http://perr.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_confused.gif http://perr.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif ).

I know i can start it with the recoil pull, but might as well wire a starter button. My model is the OH195EP, and i have also been looking for a manual that i could download that will give more detailed info. Sorry for my ignorance

any ideas ??
thanks,
Mike

WarPaint had asked the same question and I helped him get it going.

Here's what i'm figuring and learning:
My 4 wire harness:

Red Wire - 3 amp DC charging
Yellow Wire - 5 amp AC for lights
Green Wire - is for ignition kill
Black Wire - grounded to engine block

So, it looks like I can run the red wire straight to a battery(+) for charging the battery.
I can then run a switch between the battery and cable post on the elec starter.
Then ground the battery(-).

I'm not 100% sure how to wire the kill-wire. Probably put in a toggle.?

And that leaves me with the yellow wire. Do i want to run those ghetto neons around my frame? Naaaaahh, this is a farmboys BSR

Well the green kill wire should be on some sort of button or switch. When the button is pressed the wire should connect with a ground and that will kill the enging.

Or you could get one of the setups that are on a wave runner so when you flip it kills the engine. :D
