I started connecting the Indicators today I found that instead of them flashing they just lit up the test bulb even when I upped the bulb from 5W to 10W so my idea has not really worked out.
Decided instead to fit a temporary in-line blade fuse where the test lamp was fitted as a precaution until the loom connections are all sorted.
First good outcome was the left side indicators work just fine including the additional left side LED unit in my tail lamp unit.
Next will be sorting out the idiot light repeater connection.
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Started lapping in some of the valves this morning managed cylinders 1 & 2 inlet & exhaust.
Did a tad more on the wiring front all indicators now working including panel light, neutral light, oil light & brake lights. Ignition circuit part done.
I'm scratching my head over the starter button as the yellow/Red wire is live but the button contact wire is black?
Next job is side lights & headlamp wiring.
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I had a good couple of hours on the wiring connections today, sorted the side lights, headlamp & dip beam all now working as they should.
Items not currently working as they should are the pass switch & starter button. No Horn fitted atm - that should be straight forwards.
ATM the connections are anyhow in terms of orientation/routes with some temporary bridges, once everything works I will tidy up the Spaghetti appearance so I can fit my slim LED headlight unit.
Only blew my inline fuse once yesterday & one today (5 amp) so pleased I went to the trouble to fit one as a temporary measure on the live battery terminal.
PS: Not checked the kill switch as yet!
