Basic Wiring

Xtreme Cartz · 08-27-2007, 12:09 PM

I'm a bit rusty when it comes to making a wiring harness from scratch. I am getting ready to wire up my 27hp Kawasaki engine. I have a wiring diagram for the engine and understand most of it. But for all the other electrical accessories I don't know where to start. There will be the typical engine gauges, electric radiator fan, front and rear lights, etc. What's the basic rule of thumb to go by for sparking this stuff up? Should there be a fuse box grounded to the frame and then run all of this stuff to that? The workhorse has a fuse panel on it so maybe I can use that.
