    Hey Folks. I have an 82 Maxim 400 (the one with the mono rear shock) and I just swapped motors in it (old motor had a cracked crankcase). One thing I forgot to do was label which spark plug wire goes to which side. I got the old motor out, put the new one in, then saw them sitting beside each other. Does anyone know if the ignition coil mounted on the left side also feeds the left side spark plug? Or do they cross over?

    Thanks!

    Right=right; left=left; they don't cross over.
