Default New kid needs help with starter/generator

Hi guys, new to this forum and sure could use your help and experience. I purchased a used Club Car starter/generator to start a Honda motor. I don’t know what year this starter is for, but anyway I hooked it up, and it started the Honda right away. Problem is I don’t know how to use the charging capacity, if there is any. Anybody know an easy way to measure the voltage coming from the generator. I will purchase a voltage regulator when I find one compatible with this unit. Looking at a wiring diagram I saw posted on this forum, it showed the #10 red wire from the generator going to the started solenoid, but I can’t tell what post it connected to. Why go to the solenoid, is that the only way to get voltage to the battery? I’m using a ford solenoid that has two small posts in addition to the large post for the battery to the starter.
Any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Cyclebender
