Default Mystery wire and white smoke

Finally got ready to turn the key on the new motor. Bumped the starter and spotted white smoke from the voltage regulator/distributor area and shut it down immediately. Smoke was coming from the harness that connects to the voltage regulator. There is a wire (circled in yellow) that I could have sworn was grounded to one of the VR mounting bolts. I disconnected it from the ground bolt and no more white smoke. Is this a hot wire used for electric chokes? Tomorrow I’m going to take off the wire covering and investigate closer.
