Here's the damage to the harness.Doesn't look bad but lots of the wires have had they're insulation melted together.Not to sure I trust them.Might be "new" harness time?

It looks like I'm not going to need a new harness but as the connector seems to not be cooperating I've decided to get a new one http://www.ebay.ca/itm/140780316929?ssPageName=STRK:null:IT .To keep things moving I will get the bodywok ready for paint,again

Hey SV. You might check at an electrical supply store if you have on in your area. See if they have a molex connector to match. I did this on my rebuild and got them a lot cheaper.

Already ordered,had this advice but didn't heed it.That listing is for 2 connectors,not just 1 so I have a spare.

I'm thinking my jury rigged starter button burned out the ground wire so I ordered this http://www.ebay.ca/itm/310449162157?ssPageName=STRK:null:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1542.l2649 yesterday.Same as the 1000 except for the white lettering,easy fix as I'm repainting it anyway.

Since the left side was the same style as the 1000's I got that off the guy to.Saves me having to rewire the one I have.

Didn't think to take a before pic of this one
but here's the afters.
Here's the before of the left side,right looked pretty much the same reasonable shape.
Something was nesting in the right one though.Any ideas what.Came from Lebanon TN FYI.
Liking the finished product,but do I have the switch levers right way around?

Wow - that thing is toasted bad. By the time you've fixed it, you could have made a new one - and probably will. I hope you find a new one, I wouldn't trust that one.

Bugger Greg, she sure looks toasty!
Hopefully you can get another harness otherwise it will be salvageable but you'll probably need to strip all the sheathing off and check it out thoroughly, replacing any individual wires that have the insulation melted off and have blackened cores. That would be a lot of effort...

Look what came in the mail today:clap::dancing:
This makes it a C harnessEven has the rubber thing to hold it to the frame.At last I can get going again.Now knowing I burned up the thing the last time dare I try my more modern R/R and fuse box? Or just keep this set up?

As far as I know the TSCU on the E has a bunch of wires going to it.It's one of those auto cancel things the Japanese tried.the 78 E was one of the first ones out and are a PITA from all accounts.The 2 wire flasher make this a C harness.
