This looks very interesting. Did you buy it or make it? What is the black curved tube that appears to come from between the carbs in the second picture. It terminates in a white plug. What is the plug.

That's the fuel line, and a filter.

Re: Motor Test Fire Stand

I know it's fairly simple but does anyone have a wiring diagram for the minimum set up?

Re: Motor Test Fire Stand

you would use the same wiring diagram as the bike itself,but theres a whole lot you don't need ,so you'd make your-self a test harness ,

such as your blu-ylw from point to coil
you'll need a batt hot n ground,
these are off the top of my head .
I'd make it while I was looking at it in Manuel and on stand for length

All, you need to fire it is 12 volts to the coils/points. Oh, and the starter. However there is a very simple wiring diagram floating around here somewhere.
