COIL questions - please look! quickie!

[Poot]

Hey all,

Doing the coil mod, and just not sure if I should cut the orange wire between the two seperate connectors (going to the coils from harness).

I made a diagram below. As I understand, I link the orange wires from the kill switch to the ignitor, and run that with a new wire to the relay (to close the circuit?)

So, I don't think I need to cut that wire that connects the two separate connectors, but I wanted to make sure. I didn't show all the wires in the diagrams below, just the ones in question.



WHAT I THINK:::



Let me know if I've got it wrong. Everything else seems straight forward. (yeah, the 2nd one is messy I know)

From the relay
Ground
Battery w/ fuse
you can split the orange wire anywhere past the kill switch. It seems to be neater down by the igniter. The power side of the orange wire is the switch and the other side supplies the battery power to the ignition and the coils.

Thanks, I've got that other stuff under control (positive line, ground, and 2 lines to coils from relay--its a 5 pin--), I was just wondering


a: Whether or not to disconnect the orange/white wire linking the two connectors shown (seems as if I should just leave them.


b: If diagram two looks correct, where cut the wiriing so that the two power supplies to the coils come from the relay, and the stock wiring of the ignitor/killswitch lines are soldered with a line going to the #86 relay.


I think I've got it right, but I was just trying to double check.

The orange and white wire supply the ignition and the coils. I wouldn't supply it seperately to the coils. Just split the orange wire anywhere past the solder ball inside the harness under the coils. I've split the kill switch wire from the solder ball and used it as a switch and soldered the relay into the solder ball.

OK...you're losing me here. I pulled out the harness, and removed a fair bit of the taping/shielding.

What I found was :




Thats what was there stock. So, as I understood the directions of one of the tutorials, I cut the two wires supplying the connector coming from the harness (soldering two new wires coming from the relay, which supply the old orange/white lines coming from the coils) , and joined them, linking the wire coming from the kill/switch to the one from the rear directly together, and then soldering a line from that to connect with the #86 pin on the relay.

So, as I understand it, that wire going to #86 from the existing power supply lines just closes the relay's circuits so it can supply power from the #30 pin to the two #87's which lead to supply the coils. I have the ground for #85.


But, as said, there was that wire connecting between the two connectors coming from the harness, in stock setup, that I was wondering if I needed to slice.


Sound right?

OK.

So I just put it back together , and its working. Or at least it started well! I'll go for a ride soon.

FINALLY did this coil mod.
