Installed new wiring harness two wires don't match??

Post by BrewCityDream » Mon Jun 16, 2008 12:37 am

Hi I installed a new wiring harness purchased on EBAY but two of the wires don't match. Anyone know the correct color association? I attached pictures of the mystery wires pink and brown from the cycle. Blue and white on the new harness. It's a 1964 CA 305 dream. All the other wires on the harness matched perfectly. Right now I have pink to blue and white to brown although I have no idea if that is correct. My dream is not starting yet as I just removed starter and kick starting did'nt work either prior to that. Prior to removing starter today I got a click when pushing starting button and with wires connected in both configurations.

What does your wiring diagram show the pink and brown wires connect to?
Where do the blue and white connect at the other end?. ...........lm

I only have a techincal wiring schematic and it's not clear where they come from or go to.

Try this; Pink goes from the ignition switch to the dynamo. Brown goes from the dynamo to the rectifier. Nothing to it,right? Good Luck, Kustommusic
