Throttle without stop switch leads

The absence of the stop switch leads is the main
feature of the new master control. The electrical
function of these leads is taken over by the metal                                                 10

The ground connection on the coil 10=remains
unused when connecting the new throttle cable to
the ignition module. The electrical connection to

ground is instead established via the throttle cable

Extracted from the manufacturer's 2012 service catalogue. Most of these PDFs embed fonts with a shifted character map, so the text above was recovered rather than copied — read it as a faithful but imperfect transcription, and treat the page image above each block as the authority where the two disagree — the figures exist only there, because they are vector drawings that text extraction cannot keep.
