G'day Guys
Just been doing a bit of tidy up work on the project bike and found as shown on the attached photos.
I've never had the bike running, but saw it started and running when I bought it. Looks like the original starter relay has been changed at some time and a pretty bodgey job done of reconnecting the new relay - it was a real mess. I've decided to put a new connector in to replace the dickey job and when I started I found what appears to be a diode (?) across the terminals of the original connector that connects to the coil of the starter relay (see first photo).
Can anyone please confirm if this is indeed a diode, if it is there as genuine and if so what is the function? If it is required, what size does it need to be as I think I'm gunna need a new one?
Thanks.
Regards
Muddy
