    Rewiring the pickup coil

    I've never replaced wire before, so I'm unsure what to do.

    What gauge wire runs between the pickup coil and the ignition coil?

    Do I have to replace the wires with the same colors? Or is the color just for identification?

    Can I just cut all the old wires and replace with new, or is there more to it?

    Any help is appreciated.

    The pickup coils connect to igniter, the igniter connects to ignition coils. The pickup coils only have small current in them, so small gauge wire is fine. Color doesn't matter , but it helps identifying stuff later.
