Wires to / from coil
« on: Fri 30/10/09, 14:48 »
me again!! changed old coil for a new flamethrower petronix....  I thought I had labelled all the wires that i took off the old one but seem to have 1 left over (classic!)  How many wires should be attached to the +ve side of the coil and how many to the negative....???  (and which ones!)  funnily enough my battery is now being drained overnight so I have def done something very wrong.  thx for your advice!!!!

Sketch below shows the stock wiring connections.  Disregard the Reverse light wires if not fitted.
