I am replacing an 83 engine.
The old engine has 3 different sets of wire coming out of it.
1 set) Green with brown wire & Blue with brown wire. {comes out of the front of the engine above the oil filter} Honda plug on it.
2 set) 3 yellow wires. Honda plug to stator.
3 set) Blue wire, 2 white wires, and a yellow wire with a Honda plug.

The new 83 engine has:

1set ) Red, White, Black, Blue, Green, and Yellow with a Honda plug.
{comes out of the front of the engine above the oil filter}
2set) 3 yellow wires with Honda plug. Stator

3 set) Blue wire, 2 white wires, and a yellow wire with a Honda plug.

I do not know how to connect set 1 wire.
I have not found the bike plug for set 3.-- I know it is there as I unplugged the wires from the old engine.

Any advice would be appreciated.
 
Set 1: That engine, or at least the front cover, is from an Aspencade.

(From the gallery wiring diagram for 83 Aspy gallery/album.php?album_id=10183 )

Looks like you'd use the Gr for neutral indicator, Blue for the OD light.

I believe set 3 is the ignition pickups on back the engine. Bike plug is by the battery by the stator yellows.

Thank You.
I will try it out in the morn. I will cut the plug off the old engine and solder to the green and blue wires.
The other 4 wires I will ignore and tape them up.

Those four wires are used by the digital dash to show what gear you are in.
You could use those wires with some leds to be a graphic gear indicator. Just line 'em up in a row between the handlebar clamps.
