    I can't figure out what I did wrong. When I try to turn it over, it gives a hiss and a puff of smoke, and occasionally a back fire. I have it hooked up like so:

    coil on Left (when sitting on bike) starting with top: plug 1 & plug 4
    coil on right: starting with top plug 3 & plug 2

    Am I wrong?

    4) NOTE the color code of the wires running to each coil, and make a note of which color-pair of wires runs to which coil. For most XJ model bikes, one set of coil primary lead wires is a solid Orange wire and a Red wire with a white tracer stripe....these are the leads that go to the #1/4 coil. The other coil primary lead wires are a solid Gray wire and Red wire with a white tracer stripe, and these are the wires that go to the #2/3 coil.

    Got it! Thank you very much! The fabrication of the brackets must have addled my brain because I crossed wires somewhere. Needless to say, it fired right up once the correct wires were connected to the correct plug. :)

    Thanks a lot!
