| How exactly do I time this bike? I tried doing it the way my haynes manual told me to, but it's confusing. Any tips?

| I think I figured it out. Once again, I am putting together 2 bikes to make one and I didn't label some stuff that I should have.The answer (I hope) is that the coils are hooked up backwards. Now the question is.....On a 1979 650 SF(?) there is a red wire and a red/white wire. Which goes with which coil? I looked at the manual and it doesn't specify which is which. Thanks in advance!

the red and the red/white are one connector , goes to the brown on right coil as sitting on the bike, the other one - grey wire goes to orange.
The other coil (left) the grey goes to brown , orange to orange.

just bring the timing mark on the gen. to the F mark on the case, see which set of points is ready to open, top set of points should fire right side, bottom set left, move wires to proper coils
