Finally got it started again. Had to remove the plugs and spin the motor, put a little oil in the plug holes, then put the plugs back in. A shot of gas in the carb and vroom. It's smoking quite a bit now, however, I'm sure once the oil I put in is burned off it will calm down and get back to normal.

Ended up with it wired as in the diagram, no smoke or fire. :)

I did notice after I got it running again the amp gauge was showing just shy of the +50 amps while running. Before, with the old wiring, it barely moved off center to the positive. Anything I should be concerned about?

Of course, all the old wiring was the wrong gauge and color. Everything was black, white or orange with no rhyme or reason to the routing and a ton of electrical tape. But, it worked. Probably a fire waiting to happen though.

It's nice to have new wiring!

Thanks for the feedback!
