Where is the light?

I just got my 83 liquifire back together and it runs great but the lights and tach are not working. The sled was apart when I purchased it but the wiring harness was marked and is installed correctly. Everything is plugged in so I was wondering if a bad voltage regulator could possibly be the problem. I have switched the leads in the main connector coming out of the stator and found only one way that provides spark along with the ability to kill the engine with the key. Whats the problem?

Take a 12 volt test light and with the engine running probe the wire at the VR. If it blows the bulb in seconds yep bad VR, but make sure that the VR is grounded and the black wire is plugged in. Also I have seen where you plug the harness in at the motor as you plug in the plug it pushes the wires on block side out a bit ,thus no contact ..Hope it helps Deererunner.......

Got it fixed tonight. I just started mapping out the wires figuring which ones went to what and bam it works!!

My dad was quite suprised since it only took me a half our to figure it out and get everything working.
