    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

MP08 Coils

Forum Apprentice
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.
