It's the original wire which fed the solenoid on the lucas pump (I've ran a live straight from the battery to both solenoids on the bosch and tried starting it, made no difference). The breakdown guy who came out before me took the air filter off and sprayed loads of easy start into the intake which I think has done more harm than good. I've swapped a lot of these engines now and never had a problem like this so I think it must be mechanical.
