    Another update (no pics tho) bonnet pull cable has been removed, aero catch bonnet clamps have turned up, 9" slim fan fitted and wired up, old injection return is now blanked off, completely plumbed up so ready for water/anti freeze, wired up coil (i think correctly) had a brown black and a green.
    Ive gone brown - earth
    Black - ignition live
    Green - rev counter?

    Is that right for the carb set up? Ive tried turning it over but dont get any rev counter movement or does it need to be 100% running?
