Could it be an early production 1977, that was mistakenly titled as a 1976? Maybe th op is merely going by the production date? Maybe the early ones were officially 1976 models outside the U. S.?
For sure the cable that attaches to the engine case, or maybe the frame if some po got creative, should go to the negative post of the battery. Unless of course this bike was specially built for the British Empire by British Leyland. In those years, the Prince of Darkness (aka Lucas Electrics) had a fetish for positive ground systems. Tickled a carb lately? Left side kick starter?. Oooooo, I'm getting all goosebumpy!
