Spade Connector

Post by AlandAnn »

I have a spade connector located on the side of my distributor!

At the moment my "Bus" isn't working, and prior to me removing my carb to give it a good clean I've had a look round for any loose connections and found this one. Unfortunately I can't download a photo and I also can't find the female part of the wire so haven't got a scooby what it could be for.

Don't know what it's for, but I do know my dg has been running with nothing connected to it for at least 10 years!
Would have responded sooner but I thought somebody much better informed than I am would have answered.
Perhaps it's a left over from an alternative use of that model dizzy?
Good luck
