N8in8or, any movement on the L35 project? Yours is looking great. I'm currently working on mine also. Had hot wire from the ignition to the solenoid wear through the insulation by rubbing on a post on the hour meter, shorted and fried. Caught fire while Iwas clearing felled logs in my pasture. Got it put out luckily but fried everthing that ran with it in the tube. Replacing all electrical and the wiring harness and mad a new tube out of thin-wall conduit and a bender. Mine's a bit different than yours but not much. Did you find a better electrical schematic? All I can find is what Messick's has listed with no color code.

I never met a project I didn’t like
Hi Kmad. Not much more progress since my last post. I had to switch gears to get ready for a camping trip, but I should be back at the L35 in a couple weeks. I never did find a better schematic. I used the one in the owner’s manual and just figured it out from that. Plus I made adjustments for volt meter instead of ammeter and the GM alternator instead of the factory alternator with external regulator.
That sounds exciting having the machine catch fire while using it! I hope you had a fire extinguisher handy.
I’m hoping to have it running yet this fall, but I’m bad about taking in additional projects so we’ll see what happens.
I hope you get yours back up and running.

N8in8or, if you could do me a huge favor I'd appreciate it. I lost all reference for wiring on the fire and i can't get it right. Even with the schematic. Mine has the ignition switch and a starter switch (button). If you could tell what you ran to what. Better yet, a rough sketch would be great. Whatever you could do. Thanks.

I will see what I can do. Unfortunately I probably won't be able to get to it for another day or so. If you don't see anything from me, please give me a bump so I don't forget to get this for you.

Thanks for the bump. Not yet, sorry. It’s been a hectic week. I’ll see if I can work on it for you tomorrow.

Here are a couple I put together to get you started. As I’m looking at them I realized I omitted the circuit breaker between the battery and the ignition switch on the drawings, but otherwise I think they’re accurate. I drew them off of memory, so there’s that..... That is why the smaller gauge wires are labelled as being 14 or 16 gauge - I can’t remember what I used for this application I think either is fine.
Here’s the starting circuit. I used a Ford style starting solenoid for mine. I am also using a keyed ignition switch, but the principle should be the same for you
Here is the ignition circuit.
Here is the charging circuit. I’m using a GM 10si alternator, so yours may be (probably is) different.
Hopefully this is a good start for you. Let me know what questions you still have.
Where did you put your ammeter/voltmeter?

I didn’t run an ammeter because those have to be wired in series and I have 2 issues with that: 1. It can draw some of your available power and 2. If it goes bad, it can leave you dead in the water. So I went with a volt meter. A volt meter is easy to wire, you just need to hook the positive to a good power source (the switched hot on the ignition switch would be good) and then to a good ground.

That could make sense. That could be a switched signal wire.
I guess I don't understand how that could have sent voltage back to the battery. Everything seems to be working properly. I just don't have fire to the plugs right now. Has to be in the distributor because the coil is hot.

Oh, that was the ONLY wire, not just the only wire other than the charging wire. Yeah, that’s odd. What kind of alternator are you running?
Stock.
n8in8or

Ok. So the stock one is showing two wires in the diagram. This is apparently some kind of signal wire that goes to the start switch.
And this would be the charging wire.
