Ken. Choke lever on side of frame. Not an improvement on Honda design. Neither is the wiring an improvement.😜
No starter solenoid, no lead from starter. Not used with kick starting these bikes, there normally quite reliable with a descent battery.

Now you know it runs Johnny it should be worth fitting something resembling  an actual wiring loom at some stage.
Have you tested the starter motor yet?
That bike should keep you occupied in the dark months of winter. ;D ;D ;D

Never seen anything bodged up like that before, but maybe something similar on old British bikes, scary.
