    741 electrical set up

    Can someone please help me figure out what I'm doing wrong with the electrical on my 741? I'm restoring this bike and I'm basically figuring things out as I go, i.e. little to no knowledge in restoring old bikes! It's been a fun 3 years though!
    I'm enclosing a PDF of how I have the wiring harness set up. But it's not working. So I'm missing something here. This doesn't include headlight, tail light, etc.
    - The battery is new and pushing out 6.2 volts.

      Hi,
      What exactly isn't working? Does the ammeter ever show a discharge?
