I'll make an honest search for that wire loom and get back to you. I tested my 83 Air Cooled Westy to 85 mph and seized #4 piston, collapsed the ring lands and pumped a quart of oil out every 35 miles for 270 miles back home. In testing after that expensive failed adventure I only tested to 84 mph and that seemed to make a difference since I got 150K out of my second engine. I know that you are an excellent mechanic because even though your English has a skip or two in it you still don't write gibberish (meaningless words).

If you mean that i should not go 80mph, it was just a test of how fast that little sucker could go! I never could go above 65mph since i had this Bus, am a happy camper now...

Cheers, Ben
