Project Yamaha CS3C Part 10 Electric Avenue!

It’s mostly electrics this time along with a light dusting of transmission trauma.

And so came the day when it was wiring time, not a process I especially enjoy and not enhanced either by the fact that I’m apparently colour blind when it comes to pale shades of blue, grey or green in close proximity.

On the plus side I have to say the repurposed wiring loom from a CS1C came out well, but I still don’t know why it was in ‘in stock’ or where it came from. As the CS1C and CS3C are fairly similar there wasn’t too much adaptation needed, but all of the old insulation tapes was replaced and everything inspected and/or checked with a meter. Using the cable clips and guides, most of it fell into place quite neatly I have to say, but because I don’t have any faith in the ability of ball bearings, grease, powder-coat, etcetera to conduct electricity, I’ve added a few extra earth leads and run them back directly to the battery.
