« on: November 11, 2011, 04:33:23 PM »

the gray thing at the bottom of the pics are the seat like your sitting on the bike ready to ride. the blue things are handle bars

I think it is picture 3...
I am pretty sure 1 and 4 are off one coil, 2 and 3 off the other.

yep. pic #3.  1.4 fire off the blue points wire while 2.3 fire off the yellow.  Assuming stock equipment, of course.

And to answer your next question, yes, each cylinder has not only a "good spark" at the end of it's compression stroke, it also has a "wasted spark" at the end of it's exhaust stroke.

Can I have a motorcycle when I get old enough?
If you take care of it.
What do you have to do?
Lot’s of things. You’ve been watching me.
Will you show me all of them?
Sure.
Is it hard?
Not if you have the right attitudes. It’s having the right attitudes that’s hard.
