Post by Urk-teck »

Hi there , my name is Herman. My business name is Uk-tech. "Urk" is a nickname my late dad used to call me and tech stands for technicalities.
I am a self tough mechanic/autolec/motorsport freak /very curious private dude.
I started learning about engines from young but my real knowledge started on bikes , the kind that nobody can or wants to work on.Later on in life I learned lots through tinkering but only when I was working for a real workshop did I gain experience on different brands and era's of engineering setups. You can study the basic theory of the internal combustion engine and fully understand each variant , fuel type , layout as much as you like, but you need hands on experience to learn how exactly did wich manufacturers applied that basic theory. ever country/brand etc. all had their own way of doing things. Bottom line , you never stop learning as lo g as you dont learn from people who only teach what they want you to learn. . .

I suggest you find both those wiring diagrams and start listing which wire is what on both wiring looms and label them. The only way unfortunately.
