disco the battery and there shouldn't be any real problems...it looks like he pulled a wire out of one of the plugs and decided to do a little piggy back...I don't think the 2 wires that are twisted together and then twisted to the red wire should be done that way...

The last pic i sent shows that the one end goes directly into a plastic connector, and the other end goes to the gas tank.
