Stupid question .

Stupid question.

I'm looking at my leading coil and notice the white dot lead L1 is going to L2 plug.
Since the trails fire at the same time it should not mater witch rotor gets the L1 right?

The only way to mess it up would be to switch a lead for a trail...right?

You must match up L1 coil to plug L1 and same goes for T1 coil and T1 plug, etc.

How in the world did you get 11 secs without knowing how to hook up wires?

Someone (who knows) confirm this, which is what I've always heard:

The leading plugs fire together (essentially, one spark is wasted on the rotor not in compression), so you can have them switched and be alright.

The trailing ones fire independently, so you should make sure these are correct.

Also, this would make sense because the leading side only has one coil/igniter assembly, right?

edit: On the other hand, switching trailing and leading wires will definitely mess things up. So I'm basically saying the only mistake you can get away with is switching the L1 and L2 plug wires.

Must have been drinking or something. Two years it been like that.
I swicthed them rechecked timing and it's all the same.
The only difference is the seq injection runs smoother at idle.(as good as 1000cc's are able)

I always triple check leading to trailing----that's a big no-no.
