[Mike 1958]

Hi all, need some help with a wire ( maybe an earth???)that comes off the front chain cover top screw and disappears into the engine top area???? Any help please what it is or does and part number and where can I get one.

Cheers again Mike

Found this beast in a box

It is just to earth the engine to the frame. Is connected to any clean earth point on the frame.
Put the painted one back in the box or nearest bin

Hi, I assume you have a new one. Having trouble opening your web site.

It's easy enough to make one. To expand on Tony's reply, the engine is rubber-mounted and needs to be earthed (to the frame) so that the neutral light and horn work. I could explain more, but I'll spare you that.

And the sparks too Gerald, you certainly don't want them finding a route to ground anywhere near the Carbs...

Thanks for the advice guys. I have managed to purchase one on eBay, I will clean the frame off before fitting.

Cheers Mike

Indeed, but I probably wouldn't try to start it until I had a neutral light, thus saving , potentially, hours looking for the ignition 'fault elsewhere'!!
