Engine wiring cleanup

The fuel regulator ended up wanting to be right where the ignition box was mounted. Additionally, the wiring looms for the ignition were looped around the carb and just laying on the intake.

I decided to move the ignition box to the left inner fender, and leave the regulator alone on the right. The looms were long enough to be able to tuck them behind the engine, and then behind the fender mount point on the inner fender. This hid them and kept them safe.

The green wire is still TBD, so it’s not tucked away. It is the signal to turn on the fuel pump and ignition box power relays. Currently it’s connected to the old coil+ wire because I assumed it would only be active in the start and run positions of the ignition switch. I discovered it’s also active in the accessory position, which makes no sense to me. I’m still deciding how to get a better circuit to drive these that is not active in that position.
