Got all the new parts for the Magneto and started to put together but find I can't remember where to fit the solid unsheathed connection( is it an earth connection?). The old unit had a sheathed cable. I attach a photo.
Any idea where I can connect this?

the coil will have the plug lead, an insulated lead that goes to the points and an Earth lead - bare or insulated that is grounded onto the stator. The lead that goes to the points will probably share that terminal with one from the condenser.
If your engine has a kill switch it will have one terminal earthed and one with an insulated lead to the points.
