I'm unfamiliar with the alternator you are using. However it sounds like it works same as the Delco internally regulated units. If this is so, inserting a small lamp between the ignition switch and the W terminal should solve your problem. It will provide the necessary current limiting, AND it will work as a charging system warning light (i.e. it will light if the charging system quits whenever the ignition is on). Use a 12 volt lamp rated about 200 ma or so - like a #168 or #194 side marker/instrument panel bulb. Alternatively you can install a separate pushbutton switch in the line to the W terminal and push the button momentarily to "flash" the alternator at startup. But you will have to remember to push the button at every startup. I'd recommend NOT using anything wired to the starter solenoid, etc. There are some nasty voltage transients generated when the starter kicks in and out - transients sufficient to blow out the alternator electronics.
