For missing connectors, get some insulated spade connectors of the right size. Use a thin coat of Vaseline or silicone brake lubricant in the sensor hole, install the spade connectors then form a connector shape out of some tape. Now pour in some Dow Corning 733 silicone or G2 flexible epoxy to make yourself a handy DIY connector. Do let it properly cure first. G2 takes 3 days. You did crimp the wires onto the spade connectors first, riiiight?

I had a similar issue on my Honda motorcycle when I changed the CDI. Mine is an old CBR400RR so may be different but idk. Turns out there's a speed sensor wire which needs a voltage or else the bike thinks it's doing 112mph all the time and cuts the ignition at around 6000rpm. I spliced a live wire into it and it worked. Don't know if this is a similar issue to what you're having but might be worth a look.

If anyone doubts that your chain hoist attached to your garage rafters is a bad idea, I have a worse one. Back around 1972, I put a 327 small block Chevy V8 into my Mum's 1963 Chevy II wagon. I did almost exactly what you did but the 2x4 supports were just an afterthought. And I only used one. I put that that engine in and took it out far too many times. So many in fact that I could do it by myself in just a few minutes. The tranny was attached and I got the angle just about right until the engine was most of the way in at which time I'd stand with one foot on the front bumper and the other on the top of the crank pulley to lift the rear of the tranny up a bit to land it on top of its mount. 50 years later I'm still here. So, maybe your hoist wasn't such a bad idea after all Matt.

It doesn't really matter in what order the three yellow wires from the stator to the regulator are connected. A common fix on older Hondas (and a lot of other bikes too) is the "3 yellow wire fix" where the connectors are cut off and the wires soldered directly together. The connectors there are a common failure point, they melt and burn due to corrosion from not being as watertight as they should be. Another fairly common thing is to replace the stock regulator with something like a Shindengen FH020AA or SH847 as they run cooler, can handle higher loads, have watertight connectors and just perform better and more reliably overall.
