The two black wires (one from the igniter, one from the single wire green plug) go to the negative side of the coil. The single yellow wire from the igniter goes to the plus side of the coil.

Connect +12V to BOTH pins of the green two pin connector. One is +12V to the coil, the other is +12V to the igniter. The other green single pin connector is for the tach connection.

Also make sure the short Green wire from the igniter is connected to the screw shown. This is the igniter ground to the bracket and must have a GOOD ground connection. Verify the bracket is grounded.

Ok, new info:

I moved the white/black from the battery cable, down onto the solenoid, still have spark.

I removed the carb wire - fixed that.

I removed the yellow wire going up to the (+) on coil - still have spark.

I removed the two black wires going to the (-) on coil - no spark, so I put them back.

So all I have now is:

1. The W/B wire going to the + of the coil from the starter.
2. The B/Y wire from the ignition to the TAN in the green plug.
3. The two Black going to the - of the coil.
4. Red/White to dizzy.

(for reference in the event someone searches on this topic, that was the solution).

Now, to dial in the timing.....

Thanks Coolerman!!

Ok, fixed all wires as mentioned and now it will START, but dies when I release the key to the run position.

We are close. Coolerman - sent you a PM.

So it starts....yay, but dies....boooooo

One wire off I believe!

Replied to PM, let us know if that fixes it.
