Default Evolution 45 ignition trouble

I recently purchased an Evolution45. I am having trouble with the wiring. The manual has only one wire for the battery to connect to. That is simple enough. However, my ignition box is different than the box that is most commonly seen with the evolution 45gx motor. The ignition i received was the TY 2 Ignition. Its sold on Horizons website but i cannot find any tech support for hooking the wires up .

In the pictures you will see the different places for the wires to connect. It came with 2 wires seperatly from the ignition and one wire comming from the ignition that is not removable. The instructions say that the battery is connected to the orange/brown wire comming out of the ignition. Ok, simple enough, but i have no idea where it might go. If that is the case, the plug on the connecting end is male. It would need to be female for my JR switch to connect to.

The wires connecting to the ignition box each only have a 2 wire plug. One is the orange/brown and the other is a light... i guess to put somewhere for an ignition power indicator light.

From the pictures below, you will be able to see what i am talking about. Im thinking about just ordering one of the other ignitions that has only one wire. This is my first gas motor, so all of this is new to me.

any suggestions or help is appreciated.
