Well, I'm back again whether you people who are sick and tired of this old man and his '08 Acehead AVL like it or not
Like a bad penny or another government "program".
I've had the Pertronix coil and new HT wire here for a week or so now and have been thinking out the wires and the location and what kind of clamp to buy or whether to hide it (like the OEM one) under the tank.
(A) I don't wanna hide it. I want to see it; (B) I don't like the forward mount on the downtube idea using the horn socket. Looks stupid + the wires from the TCI become even longer.
I want it behind the engine somewhere where I can see it which also gives me very short wires from the TCI.
The TCI tells the coil what to do through a Brown wire (from the KILL switch though a fuse) and a Red/White wire (straight from the TCI).
Under "normal" circumstances where the kill switch grounds the points the Brown would be Negative (Kill switch grounds the points to the frame, killing the spark, killing the engine).
But that's not the case here since the Brown wire is fused (and it being a Royal Enfield), the Brown must be 12V Pos. and the "kill switch" simply "unplugs" the coil's 12V Pos..
What say the experts here? I treat wires like water pipes so wadoowinoe?
Which wire goes to which coil terminal?
And what possible future problem would I introduce by tapping the new coil wire into the Brown wire beFORE the fuse? (I would have to unwrap a lot and the wires are like spider web). I guess I'd better do it because after all it IS a 12V POS wire.
What things would make that Brown wire fuse blow? Would any short anywhere in the ignition system blow that fuse through the Kill switch?
Yes, I do know the wires. I've had every one of them unwrapped, kissed and hugged and then rewrapped with cloth harness tape.
