Towatsoo M90A pictures with cowling off?

Would anyone, having a this engine, be kind enough to take a few photos from both sides of the engine? I am particulary interested in electrics/ cables on both sides. This is a 2004 but don't think much changes if other year. Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks

Twatsoo M60C/70 (2006) Pictures as requested. I can do close-ups if you let me know which area in particular.

Please don't say behind the plastic cover where the CDi is...

Thanks a lot Spartacus! Nice looking engine by the way, and that model also have the PTT in the rig like the M90A have not.

Unfortunately it looks like things are pretty much in different places on this model than Yours, so safer not to look to close on your engine. But thanks anyway for your help

This one has evereything disconeceted so what I would mainly need is a good resolution picture of the "starbord" side of the engine, to reconfirm best routing of wires an cables.

Thanks

What a great (and fast) help Much more help than the pictures on part catalog, cant hide the grin on my face. Only difference can notice is that on this one battery minus cable is going straight to starter and the plus is also visible on starter, otherwise pretty much the same. You saved my weekend, now will start to drag the cables out of the box.

Might be that will have some questions later as this is not 100% in original shape, not having original control box( gear/throttle) as it has been operated with foot throttle in the past.

Thanks again!!!

I got things sorted prety well so far, thanks for help. One question though: The PTT works with 4 wires, black, orange, pink and light green. For some strange reason got instructions from previous owner to cross conect pink and light green(pink to light green and light green to pink). It works, but as a conection its slightly annoying. What does the pink and light green wires doo?

I figured that as this engine is equiped with 2 push buttoms to operate PTT, can it be that by swaping the pink to light green only changes wich one lift and lowers the engine?
