Hi,
I need to replace some missing wiring on my 1964 Cento engine.
A previous owner butchered the wiring from the stator, so there's nothing to connect it to the main wiring loom.
All the electrics are factory spec 6 Volts, I just need to connect it to the stator.
I have the stator on the bench, and I can buy wire by the metre, all colours available.
However, I do not know the rating of these wires, especially the green coil wire, and the orange horn wire, (I'm pretty sure the lighting wires only carry just over 4 amps each, i.e. Watts divided by Volts = Amps).
Commonly available automotive PVC insulated wire is available with the following spec. :
1 sq.mm. (16 x 0.3 mm strands), rated at 8.75 Amps
2 sq.mm. (28 x 0.3 mm strands), rated at 17.5 Amps
I'm thinking the 2 sq.mm. will cover all requirements, but am concerned that it may be too thick to pass through the grey sleeving and the plate and grommet seal on the magneto housing, and the sleeved bundle also needs to be flexible.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Cheers
