    grounding coils

    does anyone have pictures showing how to ground the coils?

    I bought some used coils for my 77 gs750 but they had no lead wires and I cannot find an reference on how to properly ground them.

    Why don't you show us pic of these coils. Are these used suzuki coils? Be aware that you need a certain resistance on these coils- do you still have contact point ignition setup?

      They are not "grounded" the way you might be thinking.

      They are powered by 12 volts coming from the ignition fuse. The other side of the circuit, the "ground" goes to the points, which then connect to "ground".

      When the points open, the current stops flowing and you get a spark out the secondary terminals.

        a picture would help us understand what you mean by this.
