Take a paper clip and straighten it out and then smash down one end flat with hammer. Now you have a tool to remove the wires from the plug. Then move them to the hole in the plug that puts them where they need to go. Allen Thomas On Nov 7, 2015 4:22 PM, "Greg" wrote: > Yea.

When you've got a 30+ year old bike one of your hobbies is inevitably motorcycle repair. I certainly prefer riding to wrenching but that's just how it is. Cleaning and tuning carbs is daunting at first but after the first few times you get used to it. On Nov 7, 2015 21:17, "Joel Greaves"

Allen's suggestion of a paperclip is a good one. Also a very fine jeweler's screwdriver works too. It's a single-tang retention clip, just depress the tang with your tool and GENTLY pull on the wire to remove the terminal. If a gentle pull does not do it you need to reposition the tool. Don't
