I run only one P-mag, but wiring will be the same when I have two. The standard key switch is used exactly like it is a magneto, and my "kill" switch for the internal alternator is a CB, which is rarely "pulled". In the 200 hours I have flow the P-mag, I have only tested the internal alternator a couple of times. The CB does not get much of a workout as a "switch".
Wire it simple, and treat it like a magneto...
