2.0 air cool engine swap, where do these bits go?

Post by Taipan »

Hi All

In between getting rained off I'm gradually getting this engine in and reassembled. trouble is its been 2 years since I started this and I cant remember where everything went or came from! :oops: I've been looking at pictures in manuals and trawling the archives an dnet etc but to no avail. Also some probably obvious wires from the distributer that I'm not sure where they go. Anyone throw some light on this for me? Many thanks.

1. No idea where the wire is from?
2+3 Obviously tinware but I cant see where from or identify them on the wiki diagram?
4. I think this is the throttle return spring(?) but dont seem to have a place for it to bolt on to?

Not sure what the bigger block connector is for as I dont seem to have anything to plug into it?
The other wire onto the spare connector on the coil?

Also not too sure about the various wires to the carbs and chokes etc. Any help will be gratefully received. I'm so close to firing it up now but cant see the wood for the trees at the moment! :? Biggest problem is getting the tinware assembled! A lot of it has been bent out of shape when the engine was on the floor etc. I dropped it off the ramps and now cant get it back up on them to finish that off. I'm guessing (read hoping) it'll be okay to at least fire it up to reverse it back onto the ramps?

1 is the link wire that goes between the oil pressure switch and wiring loom.
2 & 3 Yep air cleaner supports.
4 Throttle cable return spring bracket, fits on fan housing behind cable.
Check the numbers in the coil connections black wire goes the +15 the green one in the connector block goes to -1, (your coil could have been fitted the other way up).
