Has anyone got any pictures for the fuse box area of an unmolelested ETZ250 as I like to see what order/position all the wires went in when new? Also I could do with pics of the connector junction box under the seat too.

Hi,

If you just want wire order etc, you can use the wiring diagramme, which does help - otherwise i'll be able to get some pics maybe later.

after many years as a ham radio operator
i like to solder on the wire spades or tin the wire end if no lug needed

with the new advent of very nice portable soldering guns it makes it easy to repair
a soldered on lug is recyclable and you do not need to carry extra lugs

but being an old fumble fingers i usually need a 2.2 pound bucket of extras :smt023

Strangely enough I love neat soldered joints. There’s something satisfying to fill the strands of wire with flux and solder for that smooth silver look then apply to its new job.

I had a look, it gave me yet another version of what goes to the fuse box which adds to confusion. I’ve got everything working today and tidy although I’m a bit anal on stuff as I work with classic cars. I like to see things as they rolled out of the shop obviously plus age related patina.

You know.. Despite connection sets coming with the crimping plastic and giving the impression of requiring a 'crimping' tool.. I don't use that..

I always take the plastic sleeve OFF. Then cut and tin the wire.. Then I put a bit of solder inside the connector.. And then with the iron still in place I insert the wire.. and fill with more solder if required. THAT is a proper connection. Not a crimp.. Doing this makes me feel much better. 8) 8)



And.. I'm the same, one of my MZ's I want in concourse original condition/wiring etc.. So I use it for precise locations..

Besides that however.. The terminal/junction block connections are not all straight through spades.. Some of them have four way connections.... The Diagramme helps me remember where they are :)
