Dear All:
I am restoring a '76 C-model and trying to repair the goofy wiring done by the P/O (he actually used house wiring components including Marettes and solid wire). I finally gave up and have bought a new harness from Mike's XS, but I have found an odd thing in changing from the old harness.
On the OLD harness there is a little device under the tank - near the coil / condenser / points wiring rats-nest - but it isn't referenced on any of the wiring diagrams as far as I can tell. The gizmo is a little black cylinder about 1.5" long x 1/2" dia. and it is connected to a black wire and a white wire with a black stripe.
Anybody know what that thing is? It does NOT look like a P/O modification - it was put there by Yamaha, I'm pretty sure.
Now, on the NEW harness, there are two connectors in the same location - but they are on Blue-Red and Blue-White wires..... Do I need to move the little gizmo over to the new harness - and what the heck is it?
Pictures are attached and any suggestions would be welcomed!
Many thanks,
Pete
