Should be a wire from the flywheel, not the ignition kill wire, it has a diode in the wire that must be there, then it goes to the key box that came with engine. In the box I think it goes to the breaker then to the 12v supply and you get the 3A. You can add another coil under the flywheel to double it everyone says, though its not regulated. You dont need to regulate 3A over 4A it can overcharge eventually if run long time. That charge wire will show AC voltage likely if working. It should show an increase from your resting ~12v at battery when you run higher rpm, is easiest way to test, and it wont be much of an increase. I think the breaker is simply in case something shorts out it does not kill your other 12v. The key has 12v to run the starter solenoid.
