Looking at the state of his carbs it's likely that he will.

I had a bit of a deeper delve into my bike yesterday, the air box has been messed with to the point I'm not sure what's missing even when looking at the Cmsnl parts list. I'm guessing lots of the parts aren't even available any longer which leaves a bit of a dilemma.
Can anyone advise me as to why I have two cut wires in the loom that have been connected seemingly the wrong way? Hopefully I've got the carb parts here to reassemble and bench sync and fuses on their way so I might be able to test the electrics by next week...who knows I might even get it started.
Trigger:
The wires are to the solenoid and it maybe a aftermarket unit that had the colours the other way round. The solenoid is only a switch and it may not matter which way they are fitted on some ;)
Johnny4428:
Yes as Trigger says, actually the yellow/red wire from the solenoid looks as if it is connected to the yellow/red on the loom, apart from that little bit of black connection in between. That whole wiring looks as if it needs a good going through. Alarm bells would ring for me with that block and blue connectors fitted.
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Those piggy back connectors (faded blue one) are notorious for poor connections plus if wrong size wiring for connector it can almost cut the cable in half. I would be replacing that with a decent alternative.
