Thanks David and TriCub. I figured it had to be better to ask, than to stuff it up.

The other comes from the stator to the HT coil and continues on to the ignition switch and is blue. The ignition switch is shown as being the type that connects the blue wire to earth when the switch is in the off position.

Mine did not have an ignition switch at all.

Another quick update.....
I've stripped and painted the frame.
The engine is apart and I've just ordered the rod kit, piston etc etc from Keith Lynas. He was slightly more expensive on a couple of things, but more than made up for it with excellent advice and fast service.
Ossa World wanted $106.00 to post a fuel cap to me and I questioned it but never heard back from them.
In Motion were also excellent with price and service and I'll buy some other bits and pieces from them.
