Here's the alternator wiring if you have the factory ammeter on your dash:



Can you find the documentation for your carb & choke? Factory chokes ran on something
like 7-8 volts, I believe it's only aftermarket ones that can safely accommodate more.
Regardless, the manufacturer's docs would be helpful

BTW that box under the starter solenoid is the voltage regulator, it's part of the charging
system.
