blubyyou Posted March 18, 2011 Report Posted March 18, 2011 First off I have been reseaching, read my Clymers, also studied the "electrical FAQ" section...so please help me out. I think I'm rather close on this but want to cut and solder once. I will be running only a Pro Design tether, no on/off switch, no lights, no TORS....just the very basic wires. Orange cdi wire to orange coil red/black to black spliced together on cdi black/white cdi to tether switch wire black coil wire goes to??? (ground to frame or to other tether wire.....not for sure) other black tether wire to the black coil wire as stated above or ground to the frame...(not for sure) I hope someone knows as this will complete my wiring and I can get it up and running this weekend. Thanks in advance as I'm sure someone will know exactly what to do. Quote
blubyyou Posted March 18, 2011 Author Report Posted March 18, 2011 also yellow from stator is cut and unused? black from stator is grounded to frame or unused? I'm realy not for sure....the more I try to figure it out and read the more confused I become lol. Quote
AKheathen Posted March 18, 2011 Report Posted March 18, 2011 every black wire is your "common ground" and needs to meet. this doesn;t mean that you have to run the wire to each, just that you need to have them all be connected to something common, i.e. frame. ground your black coil wire to the frame, hook both the black/red and black from the cdi, to a single ring terminal to the frame. ground the thether wherever works for you. one thing that gets forgot,about, is that the stator black wire is the engine ground, and the stock coil uses it. it will work without it, since the engine should get some kind of frame contact, and it can spark even if it doesn't (as long as both plugs can fire), but it does play a role in the spark performance/stability..... with a stock coil.......as for the yellow- if you are not using the 12v (lighting) you can cut it no problem, just don't leave it exposed, or it can touch ground and put a power load on the flywheel.

camatv Posted March 18, 2011 Report Posted March 18, 2011 the banshee CDI uses a ground refernce heavily! the coil - needs grounded the red/black ( key ON ) needs grounded to run the tether needs ground on ONE wire. the other wire ( black/white stripe) needs other side of tether. the black/white when it sees a ground it kills the motor THROUGH THE CDI grounding the coil is ok but i really prefer doing it through the CDI the stator uses 2 actual charging circuits the yellow wire is the voltage for the lighting circuit ONLY. so you dont need it for drag or NON lighting, simple wiring. the MOTOR needs a good ground through the stator to run rights. the motor is mostly rubber mounted and if that chassis ground is not there for the stator you can have big issue's all grounds need linked on the frame. stator, cdi, COIL, and TETHER> you can run them all together and then make one ground. on the chassis preferably at the coil tower.

blubyyou Posted March 18, 2011 Author Report Posted March 18, 2011 thank you so much!!! I thought I was close on the what I was doing but this is exactly what I was looking for! Quote
