Looks like a 1970 model:

White goes to start terminal on ign switch to solenoid
(2)Black goes to (2) Magneto terminals on ignition switch
Gray is tachometer ground
Purple w/ white stripe goes to choke switch
Brownish red?? Could it be tan? goes to overheat light or horn.
Also need a purple jumper from ign Acc terminal to overheat light and choke switch.
