OK gang, first post so don't bust me up too bad. I am so out of my element here because I usually wrench Jeeps and an intermittent Charger.

I am taking a 250cc Zongshen engine and grafting it into a 2002 Yamaha Blaster. After modding mounts, carb, intake etc. I have ran into the problem of the engine harness to wiring harness. Both have 5 wires for the mag but the colors don't match. anyone have any experience with bridging the gap between the two? The first picture also has a 6 pin connector that I have no idea about. The second and third pictures are the loose engine wires and wiring harness with the connector. The whole project is sitting at about 95% and I'm ready to finish it. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Frst and foremost. You will need the wiring diagrams for 250cc Zongshen engine and the 2002 Yamaha Blaster. Wiring on the engine itself has:
1. The stator/altenator wires that will connect to the your regulator/rectifier on your ATV.

2. The engine may also have a neutral safety switch wires, oil pressure switch wires and or temperature switch wires. It depends on the engine to what wiring it has.
So unless you are good at identifying which wire does what. You will have to have the engine and ATV wiring diagrams. Then you if you are not real familar with electrical wiring, you should have someone that is do the connections.

Does the engine have more than the 6 wires coming from it?
The engine stator usually has three wires that goes to the rectifier/regulator, one or two wires from the ignition sensor (depending on if the sensor used ground or not), and a ground wire.
The neutral switch is usually only one wire unless it has a shift indicator system, that gives which gear it is in then it might have a 6 wire connector.
Then on most engines you have a coil with two wires running back to the CDI.
Engines usually have either 9 wires to 13 wires coming from the engine going to the atv body.
Engines on early model machines have:
1. 2 coil wires one that leads from the coil to the ignition/stop switches and the other to the CDI.
2. 1 neutral safety wire that prevents the starter engaging unless the switch is closed.
3. 3 stator wires that got to the rectifier.
4. 1 ground wire from stator to body ground on atv.
5.  2 sensor wires that got to the CDI unit.

Engines on later model machines depends on the type electronic display if it has any certian wire:
1. 2 coil wires one that leads from the coil to the ignition/stop switches and the other to the CDI.
2. 1 neutral safety wire that prevents the starter engaging
3. 3 stator wires that got to the rectifier.
4. 1 ground wire from stator to body ground on atv.
5.  2 sensor wires that go to the CDI unit.
6.  6 wires from the shift switch (which includes neutral safety)
7.  1 wire from the oil pressure switch (optional)
8.  1 wire from the engine temperature switch (optional)

So you see how complex it can get. If you can not get a print that is color coded for your engine and one for you ATV wiring harness then you will need to trace each wire on the engine  and on the ATV harness to see what it goes to then hook it up to the corrosponding wire on the ATV.
There is no easy solution without the prints.

yeah its 5 loose wires from the engine to a 5 wire connector on the harness. I will research more from the manufacturer of the engine and see what the 5 wires go to then back track. might have to skin the harness and trace with a MK1 eyeball and check continuity.

Latest update. Got the Blaster to fire and run a few times then all of a sudden no spark. Changed CDI, rectifier, even the coil. Still no spark. Went through entire harness and beefed up the connection points. reinstalled no spark but I bumped the connector to the CDI got a slight "bump". Found out it was a bad connector. Swapped in a new one and voila! Starts, run and is good to go!

      1997 Yamaha big bear 350 Shift shaft issue
      By HSTAR
      Hey I have a 1997 big bear 350 4x4
      I replaced the shifter shaft and the shift arm linkage and the rod when I installed them all I was unaware that you had to line the dot on the shifter shaft with the gap on the linkage arm gap put it all back  together and rode it I can't get it to shift in the right gears  I can move the shift cam by hand and goes in different gears but with the shifter shaft in it riding I can't put it in R or N 
      Anyone know how to line up the shifter shaft and the shift cam s

      2005 Bruin 350cc Oil pumping into airbox
      By BruceG
      Hi guys. I have a problem where the quad will start and run well for about 5 minutes and then it dies. On inspection the airbox has oil in it (quite a lot). The oil is pumping through the cylinder head breather hose. This problem first happened suddenly. I have since done the top end including, piston, gaskets, rings and valves. I have also done the carb (not that I thought that this was the problem). The compression seems normal. The only thing that I can think of, is that I did not grind the valves well enough. Anyone experienced this? If so, how did you fix it? Any other thoughts?

      1992 yamaha big bear 350 carburator issues
      By John Sinclair
      I WANTED TO UPGRADE THE CARBURATOR ON MY 1992 BIG BEAR 350, SO I ORDERED A NEW CARB FROM EBAY.  ACCORDING TO THE WRITE-UP IT WAS A GOOD FIT FOR BIG BEARS FROM 1988 TO 1996.  WHEN I REMOVED MY ORIGINAL CARB I NOTICED THAT IT WAS DIFFERENT FROM THE NEW CARB MY CARB HAD TWO THROTTLE  CABLES THE NEW CARB ONLY HAD ONE CABLE.  HOW CAN I MAKE THIS CARB WORK ON MY TWO CABLE THROTTLE?

      1996 Yamaha Timberwolf 4x4 Rear End Width
      By McG75
      1996 4x4 Timberwolf rearend width. Can someone with some knowledge of these machines answer this question for me please. Are all 4x4 timberwolves this narrow in the rearend? These tires are so close the right one actually rubs the muffler.  Thinking about seeing if there are any spacers out there for it. I need at least an inch more clearance.

      1988 Suzuki Quadrunner 250 intermittent spark
      By Uglyside38
      I have a 1988 Quadrunner 250 2wd. My brother in law sold it to my son for $20...had been sitting outside for several years. Got it home and had it running in about 30 mins. Ran it a bit and then went to looking at the carb as it was having trouble idling. Was getting it pretty close, then started losing spark...Also, it wouldn't start up every time...only about 1 in 5 tries. Anyway...now, it has what I can only describe as "intermittent" spark. I can get 1 light spark right when the start button is pressed and sometimes one when it's released...but none while cranking. 🤷‍♂️

      I have replaced the spark plug, ignition coil/wire, and traced wires best I can. I noticed a couple frayed wires at the pickup coil where it enters the case. So, now I have the cover off, stator and pickup coil out and trying to test the coil. I do have about 114 ohms resistance for pickup best I can tell. And I can read minute voltage when I drag a magnet across it. Could it still be bad? Can a bad ignition switch/button cause this? (I did have the switch off to oil the choke cable)...pulling rope makes no difference though...any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated!!! It's the intermittent part that's throwing me off!
