I'm having a hard time with connecting pickup coil and ignition unit because the wiring charts I've been using show the different colors. I need to know which wires the pickup coil should connect to ignition unit. Here are pictures.
The wiring charts show the pickup coil with black, green, and red all with lines. But mine are grey, orange and black all solid.
Please help.

Maybe some of the wires are discolored?

In my Clymer book they show the pick up coil with a red/white, Geen / white, black /white.
The pick ups I've seen are Black , grey, orange. The three prong connector that it plugs into the TCI box with has the colors right in it. That way when you plug them together they are wired right. The way you hold the three prong plug I can't see the wires as they come out the other end of the plug.
aybe some one can look at their bike and tell how the wires hook through the plug.

twinsarehot - you have a 7 wire ignition box.
If you had a 7 wire wiring harness plug it would be a 1-2 match.
I know because I am fitting a 6 wire (80-81) ignition box onto a 82 special wiring harness.
The wires from the ignition box plug into the wiring harness where the colors should match 1 for 1.
The wires from the left side ignition trigger unit go into a different spot in the wiring harness. Presumable they change color somewhere.
Yea my 82 has the solid colors green, orange and black too comming form the crank trigger mechanism.
Cool.
Srinath.
