Got you, thanks Paul!

Few little things done today, basically every time its more and more disassembled. The previous owner had just everything presented but not tightened up, and not everything is mounted correctly. So I go in sections.

Some members pointed out the rear mudguard was not mounted correctly (the support was upside down), so i presented it correctly using the original manual. I'll leave it out for now until i make sure the gearbox-engine-chain assembly is correctly mounted and aligned.

I'm also having a look at the magneto,

As far as i understand this is not the original, its a Lucas MO1L H3, so I read its from 1050-1958. Common mod i guess I disassembled the cover and there is only TWO terminals sticking out. Also in the box of spares there's a regulator. So i guess its not a 3 brush dynamo, i left without verifying that!

However i screwed up and i bought the 3 brush wiring loom from Draganfly, i just rushed too much. (Also the other loom they had was not cloth covered so its not that pretty)

So most likely I'll need to adapt the 1340 Wiring harness – 3 brush Cloth covered, from draganfly to a regulator-based model. Can't be that difficult, i guess i dont use the part of the loom that links the dynamo to the tank switch and think of something for the A cable and E to ground?
I'll think about it when it arrives :lol:
