I have a rough 1986 trx350. I’ve had to do a lot of work to it, but eventually I got it running. It sat outside for months and would start right up with a remote tank. Then I found a tank for it, so I mounted it and figured I’d be riding it within the hour….I was wrong.
First I’ll note the ignition is gone so I just have had the red and black jumped when I want it on. It’s fugly, so I’m not really worried about it getting stolen. Going to get a good oem key and ignition for it soon.
Anyways, after installing the tank I realized the petcock was no good. Figures that would have been too easy. So I drop the suction end into the top of tank and attach to the carb. Fuel line was a little big so it spilled a little gas from the carb. It caught on fire.
It burned some of the 14 wires between the stator, 7 from harness, and the neutral/oil temp wires. Now I’m not sure where they even go so I can reattach and replace the affection sections of wire.
The service manual .pdf wiring diagram left me even more confused. It’s small blurry and not in color. I also can’t tell what color the wires I have are supposed to be called to located in the wiring diagram.
My main questions:
1. Is the green stator wire supposed to be hooked to the harness or where it’s currently hooked (one of the 4 from the neutral switch area)? I put it that way as those are the only greens with a little indicator ‘tube’ on it.
2. What color is the white or grey with a male end supposed to be? And the white with red striped, maybe light green?
I know the blue/yellow goes to blue/yellow, same for the red/black to red/black. But I’m not sure about the two in question. Everytime I guess and assemble, those are the two questionable ones as nothing else matches their color. I did manage to assemble them via guesswork and get a neutral light ONLY when jumping the solenoid.
Fuses all look good.
The fire was just under the carb and you can see there’s maybe 3 or 4 that really got affected. The harness looks fine. I doubt the stator suddenly went out or the cdi did that easily.
Immediately after the fire the neutral light worked and I could turn it over, but that’s when I realized I had lost spark. After testing for spark, the neutral light was gone.
I’m new to using multimeters, but willing to learn. I’d just like to find where these all go so i can have them correct and replace the sections affected by fire.
Thanks
