I need to wire up the Lifan. I will start off by saying that I am allergic to electricity. I once hit 220 while sitting in a mud puddle, and my brain shies away from anything to do with wiring. So in some respects, me wiring this up is similar to a person with a fear of heights, walking a tightrope. While I'm trying to think about it, my brain is going, "Oh no, oh no, IIIIIEEEEEE!!!!"
Here's the wiring harness I was sent. A tangled mass of wires that have 1. An on/off key switch; 2. A handlebar mount Kill switch and starter button; 3. A CDI; 4. A Solenoid; and 5. About a million wires of various colors.
And, from the engine, there are the wire from the starter, and a gang of 5 wires.
Here's the thing. The wires don't match any wiring diagram I've been able to find (about 5) some diagrams at least seem to be relevant to this motor (except without the electric starter) (the colors still don't match). The wires from the engine don't seem to match any of the wires in the wiring harness (except the green ground wire). I figure I'll end up just tearing the wiring harness apart, and running my own wiring.
And, shouldn't there be a Coil? and perhaps a Rectifier? I'll keep researching on the net, but I'd appreciate any help I can get.
