I can't fine where to connect big 12 guage brown wire from left side major bundle. It's about 14" long with a male plug. It seems to go across to right side.

Well - brown is a ground. So either it comes from someplace and is supposed to be plugged into another wire to ground; OR, it is connected to ground and is supposed to plug into the harness or a device. Step 1 is to find the other end of the wire. Then decide if it comes from ground or goes to ground. Step 2 is to proceed as you are with, "Where does this thing go?"

If you can tell us where the other end is we can probably tell you more. As it is we know it is brown but don't know where either end is.

Sounds like the fuel tank ground wire (only on the early plastic tanks).

I owe you a Stine of Octoberfest. Next plug without a mate is a double female red wire with white stripe and brown wire. wrapped with wires going behind starter. Taken off from above major bundle directly under Batt.
Gas pump still doesn't sound and green nutral doesn't light. Eng turns with clutch depressed. Next and last one comes out from behind transmission with the 4 wire plug which is connected. It is dual female brown with black stripe and brown line.
If you can help me with these two I'll offer you refills. Thanks. Only someone who knows about the plastic tanks and ground wire could answer my first one. Thanks again. Austin

That's why your neutral light isn't coming on. It plugs in near the sidestand switch and sometimes the gear indicator, under the rider's left butt cheek.

Sometimes the gear indicator cable goes all the way forward to the RID, on very early bikes.

If your sidestand switch isn't hooked up right, that would explain why the fuel pump doesn't run.
