There have been many questions and confusion about how to set-up the wiring on a bicycle engine.
The picture below was sent to me by a customer of mine (thank you Dan) after I had explained to him how it should be done. I since asked him if it would be alright to post it up here for everyone to see because he did such a great job at drawing what I normally spend time writing.
I would write it out, but the picture is pretty much self-explanatory...if you still have questions, please let me know.
As they say..."a picture is worth a thousand words" and in this case it is.
Upon seeing this picture, another person sent me the picture below. Lyle hadn't even placed an order yet when he sent the picture that he made, but he did get his CH80 a few days later. It turned out very nice and between these two pictures I don't think it would be possible for anyone to have questions still...thanks for the picture Lyle.
There have also been a few people out there that have lost their spark. This is usually due to excess moisture getting into the area of the coil...water and electricity don't mix well, lol.
Since many of us take time and pride in having our wiring all wrapped up nice and pretty I've posted the below pictures to show how the wiring connects onto the coil itself.
It is a lot easier to hit the connections with a soldering iron to remove the wires from the coil, then remove the coil and re-attach the wires. Someone has recently done this but couldn't recall which wire went where so now I've put pictures up to show so anyone should be able to do this. When you are putting the new coil in place, it helps to use a piece of a business card between the magnet and the coil to keep some slight spacing in there...don't forget to remove it after you've tightened down the coil though.
Both pictures are thumbnails...if you click on them they will open to a larger and clearer view.
