Just disconnect it ... it's has basically the same function as the Zener diode used on Triumphs in the late 1960's but it much better as it has a more precise voltage activation ... at that activation point it conducts any excess charge away to earth to prevent the battery from overcharging.

thanks, now I understand, perfect.  thanks again.  BTW, do you still need carb bodies?
