I don't have a wiring diagram for your model. You might be able to find one online.Thanks Ace for responding.
I have only read some of the online info about the sprag starters. I read where Hitchcock's in England offers a blank or filler peice to go in place of the starter. This one seems to work well. It does not engage every time and sometimes, when it does, does not seem fully. But with 2 or 3 tries, it cranks it. Do you know which wires in the box might be the low current handlebar switch? Also, does it seem correct for the brown or negative to then connect to 2 smaller black wires?
Hitchcock's and ebay are the usual places.I'll have to start practicing using the kick starter. I had not been on a bike in about 45 yrs plus so kick starting is not as easy as it used to be. Neither are a lot of other things!
This thing had sat out under a carport so it has some rust on various parts. Any recommendations for parts?
Just wanted to make sure you are aware that Allsports in Decatur is a Royal Enfield dealer.I'll have to start practicing using the kick starter. I had not been on a bike in about 45 yrs plus so kick starting is not as easy as it used to be. Neither are a lot of other things!

Eastern Beaver sources every moto connector you could ever want direct from the manufacturers who supply the bike makers.Thank you. I need to ride out there and pay them a visit. Be interesting to see if they have parts for the older bikes. I have been trying to figure out where to get some connectors at so I can try to install my starter relay. The electrical connectors do not look like any I have seen.
Hi,
Well, it looks to me as if they have installed a momentary pushbutton switch in the power line to the starter. I don't see any relay there. Probably, that existing switch arrangement would suffice for starting.
However, if you want to use a relay, you can put one in. The typical wiring would be to wire the low current handlebar switch to the coil terminals of the relay(observing polarity), and wire the thick high current starter power wires(inline) to the relay activated switch terminals.
I am assuming that you have not been informed about the problems of the ES system in those pre-unit Bullets? Most owners remove it entirely.
