Default Re: Old gas Harley possible rebuild, lots of questions

**Update**

Got the starter generator off, toast. Both bearings are bad, armature is rough, brushes are molten. Ordered a replacement for $170 as well as a voltage reg and starter solenoid.

Ignition coil looks new as well as condenser and plug, fuel filter also though I will pull the carb and check how dirty it is. Seems my old friend was running through the regular paces for tuning up a gas motor, just got lost with the electrical. (As am I.)

Is it worth replacing the ignition switch for $90, that is also the f/r switch as a precaution?
What’s the spring loaded plate that rubs against the drive clutch? It appears as if it’s some kind of ground to shut the motor off when you let off the gas, but the cables are all torn.
Any ideas for replacement throttle and choke cables, and possibly orientation or something?
