2 pickup system? have them on the s2 with an H1e ignition. green lead on the coil goes the three 3 wires that go to the 'grounding' harness (blue, green, black), which in turn goes to the brushes that are on the alternator rotor/ 'distributor'. white wire which comes from the cdi connects to the 3 black terminals. but they will work either way on the mini coils.(talked to jim about this last year at some point)



Perfect!

thanks Mark (and guys)

gutting the wiring harness..... (no horn, signals, high/low beam) Will have nothing other than an ON/OFF switch and a couple of brake light switches.

Better make that the white with red stripe wire from the CDI. The white one connects to the signal generators.



yep, I understood it to be the white/red-stripe!

even though I are not a lectrishun.

Or just pull up, stop, and drop the clutch at idle for shut off
Show that rebel side!
