Compufire for dummies

[occam22]

Im getting ready to do the compufire install on my 1978 Gs1000 and Im a little unclear on a few things.

Here is the verbiage I found on wiring:

"When the old units are removed, one of the white/blue, and yellow connectors are abandoned
That left a green/white, white/blue and yellow wire to connect to the Compufire #14AWG wire. I cut the attached plug off of these wires, but retained the A, B, C position of the wires from the Compufire with a clockwise rotation of the Stator poles starting with green/white=A, white/blue=B and yellow=C."




Unfortunately Im not 100% sure which direction the A,B,C is


Here is what I have:

Here is what I am replacing:

Since I dont see the green/white.... I found this install verbiage:

"I also plugged the green/white wire and white/red wire together that were abandoned. they loop the green/white Stator wire through the handlebar switch to disable that Stator wire when the light is turned off."

I take that to mean that I need to follow the wiring harness back towards the stator until I find the green/white? Assuming once I do this I will find the green/white and the red/white... do I tie them into each other?


So:
Wire 1: Ground to frame
Wire 2: Connect to C
Wire 3: ?
Wire 4: ?
Wire 5: ?

Wires 3, 4 and 5 go directly to the three stator output wires. Order doesn't matter. Color doesn't matter.

awesome thanks.

tracing the wires back did reveal the green white. It also revealed the split in the blue/white and yellow that went to the silver box on the left in my picture. Cutting the split out allowed me to remove the silver box.

I didnt end up looping anything into anything as the headlight still worked.

Much cleaner install. Now to clean up the wires a bit. Thanks again for the help.
