Missing Wire On Engine

joshjooh · August 30th, 2016, 01:03 AM

So I did a simple engine swap... probably know that from my other posts. But, just making sure. Anyway. I put all the wires in it's right places. But I remember removing an electrical type wire from this bolt. But I can't seem to find the wire anywhere. I am about 99.9% sure there is a wire that's supposed to be connected here because that was the last wire I removed from the previous engine. If anybody can tell me where the wire that connects to this bolt is connected to I can follow the wire and find it. Thanks a bunch, in advance.

Engine to frame ground wire maybe?

That should be the wire that goes to the negative post of the battery.
I don't remember that bolt as the correct point of connection.

It's not. The correct point is on the opposite side near the frame trunk.

No wire on that bolt on any of my pregen Ninjettes.

The correct point of connection is shown in this picture, right and top of the one that is pointed by the red arrow:

The little bolt is a M10, which is part 130B in this link:

That bolt holds the starter together. Best to leave it alone. If someone hooked the big ground wire to that bolt is was a mistake.

I think I'm going mad. Yeah, just took some closer looks at the pregen engines and there were no wire connected to that bolt. Thanks for the replies.
