I don't remember anything red near the rear of my carb, and mine is now too far from stock to look The only thing electrical in that spot I can remember is a vacuum switch and the tach filter. Neither of these should do much ticking. Are you sure you are not hearing the soleniod in the carb doing it's thing? It will may a ticking sound.
