Sorry now I am at it a few more..
The old fuel pump is now working again I can see the points sparking as and when they open and close.
But the green wire on the old system is screwed to the pump (earth/ground)
The blue and black wire goes into the pump (power)
What is the best way once I cut the blue and black wire to join them together in a way that will last.
Plus what is the pipe going into a blank on the old pump for and what should I now do with it.
All stupid questions that someone has dealt with before.
all you need winging its way to you via pm

Maybe, but in the few years I have been there I have never had any fun, so I remain here

How to with no photos....
1. Remove bash plate four allen keys
2. turn off fuel either side of petrol tank
3. remove the fuel lines in and out
4. disconnect old fuel pump just under near side of tank
5. remove old pump including wiring all the way from under tank
6. cut old wires and connect facet red to honda blue and black
7. connect black facet wire to green wire from honda wiring
8. put in brass connectors with right angled connector for fuel out
9. on the bike, bend the old pump holder down and bold facet to old hole
10. connect fule tubes, rerun the fuel out tube so it runs nicely
11. rerun the wiring and connect to socket just under tank
12. put back on bash plate
Fire up the bike once you have turned the fuel back on...
Voila, I soldered my wires and used self - amalgamating tape to keep it waterproof.
It is unnecessary to cut anything
