Guest Posted March 19, 2011 Posted March 19, 2011 Im new here so hi everyone!!!i need some help with electrics please Ive put a kawa gpz500 lump into my quad but am stuck on the electrics. Im keeping the original loom in the quad so need to connect the kawa cdi into it so ive cut the cdi off the kawa loom. Ive found this diagram http://www.ex-500.com/wiki/images/b/bb/Ex500_UK_wiring_diagram.jpg and this is what ive worked out but still cant get any spark. IC Igniter wires left to right 1. Black yellow = ground/neg (ive connected this to the frame) 2. Green/white = tacho pulse sender??? ( i have no tacho so left this unconnected) 3. Black/white = neg terminal coil 1 (ive connected to neg terminal of coil 1) 4. green = neg terminal coil 2 (ive connected to neg terminal of coil 2) 5. black/purple = seems to be a pos feed from the starter switch (i don’t know what i should do with this? Can i just connect to a pos feed to get thing working??) 6. brown/white = i gather this is the mail pos feed from the ignition switch this feed also seems to power the coils?? (ive connected this to a pos feed along with the coils) 7. green/black = seems to be a connection to ground via side stand switch and clutch switch ect (ive left this unconnected as if the sidestand was up and clutch was in.) 8. grey = main feed from batt via key switch 9 & 10 yellow & black = Pickup (connected to pickup) can anyone help me out with this please ive done everything ive said above but get no spark. Ive put a meter across the pick up and get a small reading when i turn the motor over so i think i can rule that out. I also have connected the coil to pos n frame and spark plug tip to frame and on disconnection i get a small spark. So it looks like ive either connected something wrong or the cdi i buggered??? Any help please its starting to get to me a bit!! Quote
