    MP08 Coils

    After searching for a how-to for converting from stock to MP08 coils, I’m coming up empty. Specifically, which harness wires connect to which MP08 terminals.

    Harness: LH coil wires are orange/white stripe and solid white - cylinders 1 & 4. RH coil wires are orange/white stripe, black/yellow stripe - cylinders 2 & 3.

    Each MP08 coil has a black terminal and an aqua-colored terminal.

    Anyone able to provide guidance, please?

    Application: 1980 GS1100E
    Issue: Damaged plug wires mean I either have to perform surgery to replace them or convert to the newer MP08s that I already have in hand.

    Thanks for the help!

    They still work perfectly well either way around.
    However, just for the sake of uniformity, I treated the black terminals as ground - ie, connect them to the ignitor, and the orange / white 12v feed wires to the aqua terminals.
