Wire Harness - Carburetor and Gaseous
The instructions for the installation of the wiring harness for
carbureted and gaseous engines can be used as a stand-
alone instruction on an assembled engine OR in conjunction
with the reassembly process of an engine.
If you are installing the engine wiring harness as a part of the
reassembly process, reserve the instructions to connect the
harness to various components until those components are
installed on the engine.
1. Connect the starter solenoid spade connector (
B , Figure
1) to the starter solenoid.
2. Connect the anti-afterfire solenoid connector, if equipped,
( D ) to the solenoid.
3. Secure the anti-afterfire ground ring terminal ( C ) and the
harness ground ring terminal ( E ) to the engine with the
fastener. Tighten fastener to 18 lb-in (2 Nm).
NOTE: The 2 ground wire ring terminals are secured to the
engine by the lower air block plate fastener. If previously
removed, install the air block plate at this time (see Air Block
Plate, Valley Air Guides, Speed Control Bracket in this
section).
4. Connect the ignition armature spade connectors (
G-H ) to
the armatures.
5. Connect the oil pressure switch spade connector ( F ) to
the switch.
6. Make sure that the oil pressure switch wire is routed
through the opening between the air guide, back plate,
and blower housing.
7. Secure the wire harness to the intake manifold with tie
wraps in 2 locations. One in the middle of the #1 cylinder
intake runner, and the other in the middle of the #2
cylinder intake runner.
