I need your help folks - what are these, and what do they do?
Hi,
I was changing the Clutch cable on my SRAD 600, among other things, and lifted the tank to get better access. I noticed that two of these 4 leads were disconnected from the carbs. One lead per carb. You can see two of them in the pic' below. One on, one off, brown/gold connectors. I can see where to connect them to and see why they may have fallen off (they are old and brittle). I had a look in the old '99 manual I have, but it wasn't clear to me, what are these, and what do they do? Cheers folks. Advice appreciated.

yeah just plug them back in, no extra horses and it's even debatable if they make much difference to carb icing either.
Cheers Mark.
