If one of those two wires attached to the terminal does attach to the generator, then the cutout can't function as the on-off switch that Tom described. The wire from the generator should be attached to one terminal and the second wire should be attached to the other terminal. Going by memory here but often the terminals are marked in some way such as 'Gen' and 'Bat' indicating that the first is connected to the generator, the second to the wiring harness.

The far left terminal (towards the pulley) has no wires attached to it. The terminal facing the back of the generator (towards the firewall) has both wires attached to it. Which wire should be attached to which side. As far as I know the cutout didnt have anything marked.
I thought something was wrong here, but I was just installing the old generator the same way my grandfather had it.
