The single silver wire in the last picture appears to be coming from a heat sensor. When the engine overheats it goes to ground & causes a warning horn to sound. Not sure about the others. The components will be easier to identify than the wires.

Bottom left is a thermoswitch for a useless half-choke that causes more problems than it's worth. Disconnect it and tape the exposed ends.

Under the flywheel is either from the stator to the rectifier (two wires), or from the points to the ignition amplifier (single wire).
