I bought a Carburetor for my truck on Ebay, after receiving it I saw that the electric connectors were missing or cut off. How do I fix this?

Hi,

It looks like they cut the wiring harness in their vehicle to make removal faster. Each of the wires should lead to a solenoid. I attached a pic below showing where I believe they go.

If you have the same carburetor that is on the truck, you should be able to simply disconnect the solenoid wiring from your carburetor, and then once the replacement carb is installed and the cut ones are removed, yours should plug in.

Let me know.

Joe

I don't have a replacement carburetor, the picture I attached to this question is the caburetor. You are correct in your reply with answer, they did cut the wires and the plug socket off. I need to know where and how to get the connecting plug? I have ordered a pin and plug repair kit, maybe this will work provided I follow the wiring diagram in the Mazda repair manual? Is this an appropriate approach?

This is an attached photo of the only mating plug on the truck. The other connector on the carburetor has been cut by the person I bought this used carburetor on Ebay from. I am not about getting another replacement carburetor, they're too expensive.I need to repair this plug connector?

Hi,

Is the carburetor you purchased the same as the one on the vehicle presently?

Let me know.

Yes this is the carburetor, it is compatible, that is not the problem, I need to repair the wiring connector. The mating connector is cut off as you can see from photo, the other harness connector is in the engine compartment as you should be able to see in the additional photo I uploaded yesterday.I am pretty well sure I am going have to proceed with this on my own intuition. Thank you anyway.

Hi,

I'm not understanding. If the carburetor is the same, the wiring in the vehicle should plug into the new carburetor. The wiring in the vehicle isn't cut, correct?

Did you attach a pic above? Nothing showed up.

Let me know.
