engine swap on poulan prp

[genso]

I have a Poulan Pro 48" hydrostatic drive rider that had a 22hp engine. It went up in smoke so I swapped in a 18hp briggs opposed twin. I got everything hooked up and started but find the briggs has a two wire alternator and the original had a three wire. I have an electric clutch and I can't get it to work with the engine I have in it now. Is there any way I can get this combination to work without changing to a new flywheel/alternator?

any one with any advise?

Ok have have done the same thing. But I used a engine with out the voltage regulator. I ran the pto power wire to the battery with a inline fuse. Works just fine never any problems.

My 18 did not have a regulator. Have never had the battery go down. It still gets a charge with the engine running.
