G'day Folks,
Bondy, your getting close.
M to magneto wire on motor as you say. That should be the other wire in the bundle with the alternator wire. I'll check in the morning.
B to battery. This can be from the battery lead on the solenoid if you wish or straight from the battery positive. Either will work. It will need to be fused with the fuse as close as Is reasonably possible to the power source
G to ground as you say.
S is to the SMALL wire on the solenoid (this is the one which is black with the white stripe?).
The charge wire will go to the battery lead on the solenoid. Mark, do you agree the charge wire doesn't need to be switched? As this wire is very short it probably doesn't need to be fused. Do you agree Mark?
Don't be concerned about the wiring diagrams in the Honda manual. They're not important here. I think Gadge was trying to point out that there are three different alternator setups available. From the pics you posted it looks like there is only one green wire into the rectifier cube and one red wire out so you have the little 1A charge system. This is just background information.
Good news that the Honda solenoid still functions. As Gadge says the can protects the internals from muck and moisture. You will need to carefully re secure the top to it. Carefully reposition the rubber seal that is pinched in the photo and try to clip the top back down. It may just click back. If not you'll need to try and secure it with a tyrap or two and depending on the condition of the rubber seal once it's repositioned a nice thin bead of silicon may be the go too. The key here is that the top needs to be secured to the can and that the inside is protected from water a dirt.
Cheers,
