Mark, how are you seeing pics of the meter. I'm feeling deprived lol.
I see jpg link numbers back a bit but no pics. Doesn't matter really--but what am i doing wrong.

hi RT325, I'm still trying to figure out how to paste an image with Google

Ok, i'm a bit slow--was Mark pulling ya leg haha.

I mentioned the name of it page 5 or 6, "simpson" I'm sure hes familure with it , you could Google an image of it
I have Google photos but can't figure how to insert any attachments

The little wire coming out of the 49 year old coil, like I said earlier , feels wobbly in the plastic molded casing, I'm treating it very carefully so as not to disrupt the connection .as the bike does run . I thought of replacing the coil. It is a solid black wire , no white stripe. The wire connected to it from the new loom is a solid black wire also

RT325. yes the Simpson model was mentioned and I looked it up online. 

Jewelkutter, I got back with the DT250 harness...  previous owner started goofing around with "rewiring"...  not sure what the goal was but they managed to melt some wires and they did remove the wrap tape so I can actually show you how the wires are run inside the harness. 

On your key, the black and black/white should connect to each other when key is off and disconnect from each other when key is on.

The red and brown do the opposite...  they are not connected with key off and then they connect with key on. 

I'm exhausted...  I will try to post photos of wiring harness tomorrow. 

 

Oh, thanks mark [note to self--i've got to be more observant]. Yes had a google & looks about as trick as you'd get.

Good Morning Everyone, Thank you again MarkT for the effort you are making .

I took some pictures...  at lunch I will try to post them along with some basic checks you can do with your meter. 

I checked every wire connection on the whole bike everything seems tight and clean, it's all new except the key switch , and that has a new connector to mate with the new main harness I double checked the frame ( bare metal) to engine and got the same reading as yesterday 0.00.
