Got a big twin 69, Had to pull the exhaust gaskets, therefor had to take off the cutout switch to get the last bolt. So, being the idiot I am I forgot to take before pictures. Yes, I ordered a manual, but it wont be here for a while... I believe there are 3 different wires Im not sure where they are supposed to bolted to? ANy help would be great! Is you had a diagram? I check the parts sites, with no luck

~ One wire goes up to some black plastic thing under the flywheel, looked like some sort of stopper ( had a bump on the middle facing crank) ( I took it off with one screw)
~ I believe one comes from the Wiring harness
~ The other not sure, will update.

This diagram is for the Selectric Shift model, but the part you are interested in is the same. Just ignore all the Selectric stuff

The center post has a wire going up to the points for the lower cylinder, and another wire going to one of the "M" terminals on the ignition switch. The side post has a wire going to the safety switch (the black plastic plunger thing) and another wire going to one of the small posts on the starter solenoid - basically a ground. If the engine over-revs, the high vacuum created activates the switch and kills spark to the lower cylinder to effectively stop the runaway situation.
