I've replaced the badly deteriorated main wiring harness on my 1980 R100T.
I have some questions as to how the ignition coil wires should be hooked-up.
A while back I found by accident an excellent drawing of the coils from the front perspective.
It showed the wire colors and the polarity of the terminals on the coils. Unfortunately after hours
of doing web-searches I'm unable to find it again. An opportunity-missed!
Below is a drawing I made, the way I think the coil wires should be hooked-up. Is it correct?
Anyway, I've got schematics from:
* Clymer
* Haynes
* BMW Rider's Handbook
* BMW Repair Manual R60/7 - R100 RS
They all show how the coils are hooked-up, but none give the polarity of the wires on the coils.
And I also need to know how many wires should be actually hooked-up to the coils? As best as
I can tell, only three. A green, black, and short jumper. Is that correct?
After hours of research w/o any luck, I would appreciate any help, exhausted!!!

Note: If anyone knows where on the internet the drawing is that looks like mine, please post the link.
