Hi! Guys.
Apart from about 6 months getting psyched up about the Rotax and all
associated with it I've been a couple of days and have done the
temperature and pressure instrumentation connections (or what I haven't
done I have no problem over!) 
NOW I'M BORED AND WANT THIS BIRD BACK IN THE AIR so I can sleep nights
without wakening and having brain traumas.
   However really I'm quite a "bo bo" on electrics except I do have a
fair capability with the English language and so am quite able to know
that switches and wires all need connecting to indicator lights(some
warning) all in an organised plan with positive buzz  and negative buzz
origins all with suitable fuses etc. (oh ! and momentarily "push to
break" buttons too!) and ignition port and starboard "mag switches"
grounded at both ends and so on, also..
I have the Europa /Rotax BASIC electrical circuit diagram on which, (in
spite of having adequately driven a Jabiru !) is common with my panel
set up, so now instead of trawling through pages of Rotax Installation
CD all I need is a "paint by numbers" guide as to where a mere hand full
of wire "pairs" are supposed to be connected which are all numbered as
below.
Is there please anyone (Rotax electrically competent!) able to assist me
with marrying the blessed wire numbers with what their useful and
correct destination should be ? 

The wire numbers are :- 
a) .... 10..28 are   ...........and go to......   ?
b) ......... 11..35 are   ...........and go to......   ?
c) .... 25..14 are   ...........and go to......   ?
d) ....two yellow shielded..........and go to ......  ?  ( I guess
between the Alternator and regulator but I thought the mag wires needed
shielding which ever they are?)
Oh! and that brings to mind the fact that my mag. switches are already
grounded but where do I ground the other end ..when I find the shielding
?

Of course wires 19.31.7  and 14..2 all link the turbo waste gate
operational motor with the Turbo Control Unit. Rotax were kind enough to
have preassembled that !

Here's hoping I get some response this time since I received a stony
silence over my previous posting raising the question of  "preferable
rotational timing" of a three blade propeller to the "top dead centre"
position of No 1 cylinder firing stroke ? (on a 4 cylinder Rotax!)

Best regards 
Bob Harrison G-PTAG still sat in the garage after past 12 months and
counting !
