got another engine for my mk3 gamma cause the old one was knackered, but the wiring and connectors in the new engine are different from the old engine .
the bike was first registered 1/8/87 and the two engine numbers both start with J202 , i have a 3 pin straight connector on the new engine but on the wiring harness on the bike it has a 3 pin T connector any idea,s lads , p,s is there a quick guide to postin pic,s cheers

Not sure but you could have a MK4 engine.
There are a lot of different parts used in the MK4 engine.
Also another stator....
Easy check would be the front sprocket if it has the MK3 plate with the 2 bolts it must be a MK3
The Mk4 has a different counter shaft and uses a circlip for the front sprocket.
