    I just received a basket case XS850. It is 80% complete but I have a
    few problems. 1. I would like to know which coil goes to which
    cylinder (they were not installed when I recieved the bike). 2. One
    of the coils does not fire and I cannot locate the problem. Does any
    one have an idea on what I should try to pinpoint the problem?

  2. Half a gallon of petrol and a match?

    My Haynes is missing this detail (obviously), but checking my XS750
    trip. The coils are lower left, higher centre and lower right and are
    connected to the plugs in the same order. i.e. left to left,etc.
    I hope you're only looking for the connections of the plug side of the
    coil.
