How not to B33!

Some professional wiring

Remember to install proper switch!

Leaving aside the choice of wiring colours, 'cos no two official wiring diagrams agree...

I don't think one of those crimp on connectors is made off properly. Both the inner core and the outer insulation should be crimped, not just the inner and certainly not with one of those useless pressed steel "tools" that cost about £6 and never make a sound joint. These red/blue/yellow crimps aren't the best thing to use anyway. The green wire that goes into the switch is frayed and looks like it will break soon. The inner core is visible on a blue crimp near top left, and there's a bit of what looks like VIR (Vulcanised India Rubber) cable going into the switch; VIR cable insulation falls off if it gets wet or hot; not good.

Er... can you tell I was an electrician?

You might have problem with charging in your BSA, right?
Make sure Dyno is rotating with engine rolling, right?
And if Dyno is dead....no rotation of commutator?
Check if all gears are there!!
That is not funny 🤣
