primary coil

[buffalo]

hello all, new guy here, great site, trying to build one rideable banshee out of two, was wondering if someone could tell me how to determine which is + & - on the primary side of the ignition coil

[Starwriter]

There's a + and - raised in the plastic by the spade terminals. Orange wire goes to + .

Gotta look close, wipe all the dirt and BS off the coil right around the terminals.

thanks a lot, was reading on here that if wires were switched with orange on positive and black on negative I should go one size larger on main jets, find that interesting, never herd of that before

LMAO!! What crackhead came up with that one? Post a link.

That only works if you still have your overflow bottle

Electrical
Add Degree key or Timing plate with advanced ignition timing:0-1 sizes larger on the mains, adjust airscrews
Switch coil wires (A lot of Banshees come from the factory with the orange positive wire on the “-“ terminal of the coil, and the black ground wire on the “+” terminal of the coil, switching the wires would put orange on “+” and black on “-“):0-1 sizes larger on the mains, adjust airscrews
Add Aftermarket ignition system:4-8 sizes larger on the mains, adjust airscrews

thanks a lot for some insight on coil polarity, the only thing that I could think of was maybe like a dc welding leads, switch polarity and 2/3 of the heat will switch to electrode side or vise versa. seems like a one coil set up has opposite polarity on the two plugs anyway, I will find  out if switching wires makes a difference and why when I get back to school in January, over and out.
