Sounds like you are on the right track. I would wait for the manual and
confirm the wiring before leaving it there.
Does the system seem to work properly, does the geny start with the
battery then feed ignition from the internal alternator? #11 should
have B+ when the generator during start and run.
Good job, or maybe good guess!
Let me know if I can help.
