above - 4600 V2 / V3 Carburetor
* The spring is attached to the top of the throttle lever and abutment bracket, unlike the spring on the 4600 V1, S 3800 and 5000, which is mounted to the bottom of these pieces.
* The spring is different from the standard S 3800, 4600 V1, 5000 spring
* There is an M4 hex head bolt installed in the lever. This acts as a limit bolt, limiting how high the lever can travel. Without the limit bolt, the lever would travel too high and the spring would come loose and fall off.
* 28 cc fuel jet, although I have seen the 32 cc jet shown in one 4600 parts catalog.

Stator / Magneto
above - 4600 V2 stator
* 3 coils, 3 wires:
red (or black) plastic SEV coil - ignition
small blue (or black) lighting coil - brake light
large blue (or black) lighting coil - headlight, taillight, horn
black wire, small male connector - brake light
black wire, large male connector - headlight, taillight, horn
gray wire, small female connector- ENGINE STOP switch

*wires protected where they exit stator plate
*SEV MARCHAL ignition coil
~red plastic coil on early engines
~black plastic coil on later engines
*lighting coils
~small coil - for brake lights; overlaps other coils; screws longer
~large coil - for lights; larger than standard 3800/5000 coil
- early lighting coils wrapped with blue tape
- later lighting coils wrapped with black tape
above - typical 4600 V2 stator and flywheel (rotor)
* the flywheel magnets are more powerful than those of the standard S 3800 flywheel
* "ENGINE STOP" switch wire is attached to the same terminal to which the ignition
coil wire is attached.
~when the ENGINE STOP switch is in the "OFF" position,
the points, condenser & coil are grounded, and no spark can be produced,
preventing the engine from running and/or starting

above & below - 4600 V2 Vehicle Identification tag, SINFAC
* top box is for date of manufacture, 04 75 or 06 75
* lower right box is for motor serial number, 72xxxxx
* states that the vehicle conforms to safety standards
* this tag is required to meet Federal Safety Standards
* note: the 4600 V2 tag has the engine serial number;
the 4600 V3 tag has the frame serial number
* weights shown are in hg (hectograms), not in lbs. (pounds)

above and below - left side of 4600 V2 handlbar
* switch by CEV
* button on top is for horn. Pushing the button grounds the white/gray
wire to the handlebar, completing the circuit and sounding the horn.
* thumb lever switch is used to turn the lights on and off (headlight and taillight)
* three positions: LO - (OFF) - LO
* three wires go to / from switch:
- brown - power from stator to switch
- black - power from switch to lights
- white/gray - ground from horn to switch
* grip and brake lever assembly by MAGURA

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
above and below - 4600 V2 handlbar, right side
* " ENGINE STOP" switch, by CEV
* two positions: "OFF" and "RUN"
* in accordance with the Federal Safety Standards, pushing the thumb-lever
away from you stops the engine, and the switch is marked "ENGINE STOP".
* one wire goes to/from switch
- purple - from stator to switch
* with the switch in "OFF" position, purple wire is grounded to handlebar,
killing the spark
* throttle grip and brake lever assembly by MAGURA
* small black trigger is for decompressing the engine

-ground wire attaches to mounting bolt on V2
3 Connections on taillight:
G - Ground
T - Taillight
S - Stoplight (brake light)
*Note: there are no ground wires from the light brackets (headlight and taillight) back to the engine on the 4600 V2. The ground current must travel from the light brackets through the various frame pieces and bolts back to the engine.
