[FC] wiring

[Western Canada CORSA]

I've said it to myself so many times doing engine R&R it's burned into my
brain.... "Yellow on Top".  Yellow wire goes to the top/uppermost terminal
on the solenoid.

#2 - Yes, too short and you won't reach WOT, too long and you'll reach it
before the pedal goes through it's full travel.

#3 - There is an article in the tech guide on modifying two sets of FC
aircleaners to use them on a 140.  There are some tiny air cleaners out
there, individual ones, barely bigger than BB valve cover breathers that
would probably work as well.

Regards,
Joel

guys
three issues with my '61 Rampy;-
#1 which wire goes onto the "s" post on the starter, yellow or purple? The
purple wire is a heavier gauge  & it has been three years since I took the
original motor out and I have forgotten. #2 the original motor had the car -
type carb cross- shaft with the steel rod actuator that attaches to the
lever coming off the bottom of the cross- shaft. I am installing a 140, so
have fabbed up a lever for the cable on the top of the cross- shaft. Is the
length of the lever critical? 
#3 My store - bought individual air cleaners will not fit underneath the
engine lid. Do any vendors make a set that will, or any clues how you have
set up 140 air cleaners inside FCs? Thanx
