Carburetor and electrical are two totally different things, so that would not have anything to do with it. The small lead that goes to the battery looks like the terminal to a battery tender lead. As for the bike losing power, is the whole bike dead (no lights, horn...) or does it not have spark? Both of these situations would be diagnosed differently.

If the battery is sparking when you put it in either of two things are happening (I think I am having deja vu here http://honda-cb750-s.456789.n3.nabble.com/battery-arching-td4049478.html) One you had the ground connected, and hit the positive terminal on the frame while installing it, or two you reversed the cables when connecting them to the battery.

Where are you TXracer80? Someone nearby may be able to come and help you with it. I'd be happy to, are you anywhere near Canberra, Australia? Probably not, but there are people on this site from all over the world. Worth asking for hands on help. Good luck.
