I got this over the weekend. It shows good compression and now I'm wanting to test fire it. I'm no sure what I will use it for but with electric start and reverse, I'm sure I'll find something. I got a wiring harness with it and thought it would be plug and play but some of the things I'm finding doesn't look right. I have 2 plugs coming out of the engine on the left side. 1 I assume is for the firing circuit and the other for the charging circuit. 1 has 5 bigger wires coming from the outer most part of the engine. The other has 6 smaller wires coming from the inner most part of the engine. I have a plug on the harness that has 5 corresponding wires but the other plug in the harness that should go to it only has 2 wires in it. And I have 1 wire coming from the other side of the engine in front and below the cylinder. And I have a couple components that are plugged into the harness. Could someone explain what each set of wires is for and where they should go? I understand how to wire the started circuit and I think more of the other wires in the harness are for lighting and switches, I can figure them out myself when needed but I don't want to ruin anything with trial and error. Here's some pics.
Here is the single wire coming out of the engine on the right side in front just under the cylinder. Maybe a kill switch ?????
Here are the 2 plugs coming from the left side cover. (I assume 1 is for the firing circuit and the other is for the charging circuit)
Here is the plug that comes from the left side, it is the most inboard with 6 small wires.
Here is the 5 wire plug. It's coming from the outer left side with 5 bigger wires. There is a corresponding plug in the harness with 5 wires for this one.
And this is the 2 components that I'm unsure of. I assume 1 is for the charging circuit (like maybe a voltage regulator and maybe the other is for ignition)
I would have likely just went with it if the 6 wire plug would have had somewhere to plug but it looks like the only option for it is a 2 wire plug. Any help will be appreciated.
