i believe  the junction bocx was just a mounting place for the  generator regulator  output and  space to mount a solenoid. see manual   some juction boxes just mount the solenoid as a mid point between battery and starter  and a few other wires  (start choke ) .

if you have not enough room to mount the solenoid you can build your own ” box”  and use proper grommets in drilled holes  to join the engine to the outside world.  see manual

you photo of the solenoid looks  like a Mcgiver  system and exposes B+.   that is why  an external housing to mount it would be more appropriate (JMHO)  and safer.  bring engine wiring to the bobx  to meet B+ and GRD as well as control wires for start shoke  stop.
