Wires to coil ??

Discussion in 'Mech Tech' started by nell, Jul 31, 2019.

  1. My bus has no reversing light. No fuel cut off. And no chokes.
    Running twin carbs
    What wires go on the 15+ side..
    I've got
    Black thick gauge
    White and green stripe. And the oil pressure wire that is connected to the crankcase.
    It's the loom that clips over the fan housing.

    Thanks 20190731_165113.jpg

    Do you still have the diagnostic socket by the top right hand of engine lid if so it’s this and it goes on the neg side of the coil

  6. Did 72/73 buses not have reversing lights there is no plug or wiring on the BOX?
     
  7. Depends. Scoot under your van, look on the left hand side of the gearbox up by the nose cone for a reversing light switch.
     
  8. I think they were an optional extra
     
  9. They were indeed.

    So every time you put it in reverse you have to get out, climb under the bus, switch on the reversing lights, jump back in etc etc, I'd sooner not bother
