Red Cable is for charging = To battery + or Voltage Regulator
Black Cable is AC = For lamps etc.
Solenoid cable is normally gray and need 12V when mover is turned on.

Red should be hot wire for charging the battery, Black would be the kill wire from the ignition module. Grey would be hot wire for fuel solenoid which you don't have so I would suspect you don't have a fuel solenoid. You can check if you have the fuel solenoid by looking on the bottom of the carb for a round thing sticking down with a wiring plug attached.
