Title: Ignition Coils- Dumb Question
Post by: dlearl476 on November 25, 2008, 07:19:02 PM
I decided to test the old addage "if you don't have time to do it right the first time, you really don't have time to fix it" today, just to make sure it still applied.

Anyway, I swapped plugs and plug wires today, along with re-routing my accessory jack because it interfered with the new CF scoops I put on.  So, I'm in a hurry and didn't really pay attention to the routing, and when I got it all back together, it wouldn't start.  The battery was low, so I wasn't really worried.  It's on the tender now.

But I got to second guessing myself.  Did I put the wires on the wrong coils?  Bike isn't here, so I can't verify but IIRC, I put the right wire to the horizontal cyl.  It goes the other way, doesn't it?  Right coil vertical cyl. Left coil horizontal cyl.?

TIA

Sorry for being such a moron.

I'm thinking you've got 'em swapped, but it would be best to get confirmation from someone who has a carbie 900.

Or you could just swap 'em and try to start it.

Looking from behind battery & forwards, it`s left coil to front cyl, right to rear.
