will83 Posted April 17, 2011 Posted April 17, 2011 Hi There I have the xv 125 engine in my Sachs Roadster.. The bike's electrics are shorting out somewhere (battery goes flat quickly without use, tingling feeling from metal on bike when other hand on ground) In my troubleshooting I want to know what the 3 wires are coming our at different points of the mikuni carb? Does anyone know? Would be great to find out.. One of them is not attached to it's socket (makes no difference to shorting issue or performance). All in all the performance is shoddy and can't help but think the shorting issue is sucking some power out of the sparks and could have something to do with it.. (along with hole in exhaust which I'm sorting out!) Any help appreciated, Thanks

will83 Posted April 18, 2011 Author Posted April 18, 2011 That's spot on! Thanks for that! So the first image was from the xv250 manual?
