Hi
I have an older 1980 Johnson 115 hp. I have had a miss and decided to change all coil. I have fitted these and am unsure of where some of the wires should go. There are two wires that come from each powerpack with each of these wires going to a separate coil. These wires that come from the powerpack are one orange and one orange with a blue stripe. These two wires go into one side of a rubber plug/Connector. The wires that come out the other side of this plug and go to the coils are both orange with no blue stripe.
Can anyone tell me if these wires coming from the powerpack (the orange and orange/blue) need to go to a specific coil.
I have the wiring diagram for this motor but what I want to know is not clear in the diagram.
Thanks
Dave

The solid orange wire goes to the bottom coil. The orange wire with the blue tracer goes to the top coil. (the handy reference is blue=sky, or upper coil.)
