Free fly socket found

[Alex Gun]

Hi all,

I try to change sparks and air filter.
Remove all parts step by step











And (I dont know why)) I see this small cable, which drop down behind motor.
Pull out and I see disconnected socket. Unprotected. No safety plugs.

What is it?

Thank you jn advance.

This cable went down along with 2 air vent rubber hoses (from the tank filler neck).

Mark red.

It is only used on Models that have the additional Evaporative Emissions Control System,
( California ? ), and that connector is for the Evaporative Fuel Cannister Purge Valve.

Many thanks!
But why unprotected?
Dirt, water... 
I'll put on a small plastic bag

I agree that it seems wrong not to have it protected, even if that circuit isn't used,
and it would seem to make sense to fit a matching Blanking Plug to it.

It think ( but cannot guarantee ) that it is the same connector used for the Front Indicators,
which I believe to be a "Junior Power Timer" type of connector,
( Tyco 106462-1 - 2 Way Male Junior Power Timer Connector ),
which are relatively easy to find, so you could buy one of those
and not fit the Pins and wires, then either fill the holes with rubber bungs
if they are supplied, or just seal them with Silicone sealant.

Compare this Image with yours !
