Hi Wangarra,
I don't know for sure but when I was working on Enfield motorbikes the early ones had 2 wire stators and the later with electric start had 4 wire stators obviously for greater charging because of the electric start. What we used to do was connect one yellow to a red, the other yellow to the black (the alternators we were getting had different colours sometines you would get 2 purple,a red and a black or sometimes a green and some had the 2 yellows as in yours,but the principle was the same, the pair of similar colours you joined them to the other colours so you ended up with basicly a 2 wire stator.) once you have joined the wires you then take an A/C reading off the wires, then swap the wires to the other combination, take another reading and then you use the combination that has the higher reading and they then went to the rec/reg. I know these only use a regulator and I'm not 100% sure how the battery accepts A/C but obviously they do some how. Not sure if you want to go this way but it is the best I can offer, maybe somebody else can help
