Topic: cb550 coils

[thebearded1]

Hey everybody,

Posted on here only a few times but have used this websites wealth of information while working on my 1975 cb550. I am replacing the coils on my bike with stock replacements and the coil has a positive wire connect and negative wire connect. The positive goes to my electronic  ignition and the negative goes to the kill switch right?  I checked the wire diagram and searched the website but did not find the reassurance I was looking for.
Thanks in advance!
