[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 460986, member: 3278"] [size=5]Wire should be there to serve as a shut off for the ignition. Can be connected to a push button kill switch or something dash mounted. Other side of the switch should go to ground. Make sure you do the entire job and do it correctly on the engine. Use OEM parts. Why? They fit! Sierra carb kits are incomplete. Sierra points do not line up. Sierra coils often will not mount at all and when they do the center pickup shoe is too far from the flywheel magnets to produce spark. Same with water pump. Do not bring this engine back into service without doing the water pump. Use OEM components here as well. Spark plugs should be Champions. The engine was designed using these and they do a very good job in them. Engine can be run on a 50:1 mixture but for longevity I would run a heavier mixture. [/size] [/QUOTE]
