Yup!

More current in that wire?, gets warmer than the others.
40 years of use, so 4x original planned life, not bad.
Looming issues.

I think you are probably right. The red wire is slightly heavier duty than the others in the block. I think it's done well really.

Old wires are not my favourite things. This was the state of my wires from the points!
Dodgy old repairs don't help.

Doesn't whatever current that comes through the red wire go through the black wire (except for the "park" position)? And the red is heavier than the black, huh? Interesting!

You should see the trouble they went through on the US bikes (combined front turn signal and "position light" indicators) to make it so when a turn signal is being used, the front position light filament in that indicator goes out...
