ozbanshee Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 Can anyone tell me which terminals are positive and negative on the ignition coil? I lent my Haynes manual to a mate and can't get hold of him. I think the orange / positive is to the front of the frame. Is this correct? Are the coils marked and can I see it without unbloting the damn thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozbanshee Posted March 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 Thanks Dan, I have mine set up the same at the moment, will have to wait until tomorrow to try it out. Can you see in + or - markings on your coil. I have read that they will still run but the spark will be weak if reversed? http://www.dfn.com/benkaren/jetfaq.html Electrical Add Degree key or Timing plate with advanced ignition timing:0-1 sizes larger on the mains, adjust airscrews Switch coil wires (A lot of Banshees come from the factory with the orange positive wire on the Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

salmon_slayer06 Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 old thread I know, but from what I can see in the manual they say the orange is towards the front of motor.... but I think that is wrong as there are + and - markings on stock coil. It is molded into it bewteen the spades on the coil itself. I'm currently diagnosing a no spark problem on a new serval build. Before build I had same problem and thought it was motor... Just spent 300 on a used good working coil, flywheel, CDI. And I have 2 good stators that show it being good according to ohm meter. I'm searching for a way to check pulse from CDI whick should be done with a 12V test light. Would like to pinpoint it before I swap out parts and possibly fry a CDI or Coil as these are getting harder and harder to come by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheerider11 Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 Ohm caps? New plugs? Ohm harness? Good ground on engine? I'm a fan of a ground wire from engine to chassis, or like the nology cos that have a ground strap. I think it was mull that wrote up a post about grounding the engine and it fixing a lot of strange spark electrical issues 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
