ok so i opened it up..was hoping to find som kinda electronic ignition or somthing cool..nope,nothin

so open up the other motor and bam!!..all that stuff looks brand new!!

took it out and put it in the "good motor"

the good motor was missing the starter so i took this one out.

so know im a lil confused about how it goes back together..some shimms fell out.not sure exactly where they go.

also not sure about these contact points(not sure what its really called)i know these 2 wire just screw back down.

but where does this one go?does it matter?i mean it hooks up to one of the contact points correct?

You titles should have the frame numbers. The engine numbers won't match the frames.
I was really just wondering if that black motor was a later F motor and you answered that question.

Do you have the parts list?  It has exploded diagrams of every sub-assembly.  It might help you with the starter.
I've never taken one apart.

Uhh, yeah, you got some serious wiring issues.  Ouch.

Not sure if after market ones are available. But yours might be salvageable  with a little time and some new connectors. Check this page out.

yeah that seems pretty cheap..it says 73 to 75 though..will it work for my bike?the motor is a 71 and frame a 76 so the wiring on my bike is a 76..but im not guna run all that crap that comes on the bike.like turn signals,horn,turn signal buzzer.stuff like that.(maybe turn signals if i get stopped.though i never have before.)

I have a K@ frame, K4 engine and several other model bits all going on the one bike, {lots of boxes of parts} and i am using a K2 harness, there are differences in some harnesses but its not too hard to work out. What model hand controls are you using..?
If you search google you will find plenty of places that have our wiring harnesses and they usually cover most if not all models. Maybe try Z1 enterprises. Also David silver spares {England}. I am sure that there are plenty of vendors stateside that can help you out.... ;)

Do yourself a favour and run a kill switch, i recently read on here someone recommending to run nothing on the bars, not even a kill switch and i think that was poor advice, a kill switch is a life saving device and you'll never know until you need it..... ;) You may not need a Honda harness then, if you have some wiring skills then just wire it all up yourself...There's plenty of guys here to help you out....

Blue with a red stripe is for the oil pressure switch.  Yeah, maybe the diagram would help you out.
