I'm confused from this. I'm rewiring my Combat and installing a Lucas braided wiring loom and the diagram and the loom show the ignition coils as Yellow/White and Yellow/Black.
Equally, the ballast wiring on the diagram and the loom is Blue/White and Yellow/White. I wired the bike according to the diagram and the colors on the loom wires, and did't run into any issues with matching the wires from the loom to the diagram, and the components. Is the diagram wrong? Are the colors wrong? Did I wire the coils and ballast incorrectly?
Ok, so the harness yellow/white (correctly white/yellow 'WY') and Lucas diagram WY runs from the ballast resistor to both coil(-) terminals (the original factory wire was white/purple but wasn't marked as such on the factory diagram).
Blue/white (white/blue 'WU' as there is also blue/white 'UW' = High beam) runs between the handlebar kill switch WY wire and the ballast resistor, so from the kill switch it's WY, then WU to the ballast resistor then WY again to both coil(-) terminals.
Yellow/black (black/yellow 'BY') is the LH cylinder/coil(+) to contact breaker points and condenser (normally the LH points set as you look at them) wire.
Also black/white 'BW' for the RH cylinder/coil(+) to condenser/points.
