Does anyone have a wiring diagram for a 1966 VMA1T Blue Badge?

From what I can find, it is different than the Primavera; clearly the bulbs are different. I also noticed Scooterworks has a wiring harness specific to the 66 Blue Badge.


I've got my old beast up and running and moving. Brake light works (original bulb even), horn and kill switch work, but no luck with the tail or head light bulbs. I replaced both, and still no luck. Which leads to another question

Should the head light bulb fit snugly? The original bulb has a snug fit, but the replacement (a 6V 25W) is very loose.

Wrong.

Electical is on page 5 and 6 of the allstate manual.
Here's an excerpt.

I photo'd my original wiring. You can find it here...

One note... I had to hack the running tailight. But, I also had a shitty Indian wiring harness purchased from a scooter shop in the Midwest.

Thanks for link, very helpful. I had found the primavera diagram and the allstate manual, but great to get some actual photos. I was first confused by there being one empty slot in the junction box.
