893 fireblade-what are these wires?
Boylers11 - 19/9/14 at 03:04 PM

I'm nearing completion of Blake's aka Ceebmoj 893 Locoblade that I bought back in December.
I've had an auto leccy in to sort the wiring out, but we are struggling to identify these two wires.
One is blue with silver stripes, the other green with silver stripes and they join a connector (see photo).

Any help would be great!

Have t got mine in front of me to look at but I would guess the neutral switch. Is the engine running?

The engine runs, yes (well it did until I had RR issues, which I'm currently sorting out).

The engine loom is wrapped up so tightly and neatly, that it seems a shame to unwrap it

Here's a circuit diagram, its 95 but the colours should be the same...

Re you sure its not blue and black (and silver)?

The green wire is deffo green. The blue one may well have a stripe of black in it too if that helps?

I think they are the clutch 'starter' inhibitor switch.

Can you see whats on the other end of the two blacks from the other half of the connector?

Looking at the diag theres not many with 2 pins so I'll go for the fan power which is Blue/black and a green

Thanks Peter and Reman, I think the fan idea would be correct, as there are a couple of rather long wires a attached to the black ones.

While we're at it, I have a couple more queries if you don't mind...

This random wire is past of the main engine loom between the engine and bulkhead, any ideas? (It's mint green)




Plus, I'm trying to wire my temperature gauge up on my Acewell display. I've located the white wire from the unit and the red and white from the engine, but can't get the Acewell to display the temp, it just flashes on and off



And my digi dash...

Sorry don't know much about the ace wells.AS per the diag, light greens are mainly used for the neutral switch circuits and the horn

Thanks very much for all your help
