I bought one of these:

You'll notice the left lead is green and right lead is black. But on the stock coil the left lead is black and the right lead is red (which corresponds to the connecting black and red wires on the Buddy).
So it appears I'm supposed to connect the red wire to the black lead and the black wire to the green lead to keep everything in the same orientation as the stock coil. That just seems wrong.
Has anyone else used this NCY Coil and Cap? If so, how did you wire it up?

I beleve you're spot-on. PGO used to collaborate with Piaggio and the green wires were grounds for several of the P/PX bikes of the period. Also Honda used green for the grounds in their scoots of the 80s and 90s; I wouldn't be surprised if that became a standard.
At what point does a hobby become an addiction? I'm uncertain, but after the twelfth scooter, it sorta feels like the latter...
Seriously...I've lost count...

Re: Lead colors on replacement NCY Coil and Cap.
Have you installed it? Does it feel any different? Did you do the plug also?k1dude wrote:I bought one of these:

Re: Lead colors on replacement NCY Coil and Cap.
I installed it as part of chasing a problem down. I suspect my stator is bad and I'm working my way toward it. So yes, it's installed. But no, I haven't run it.Xsolusx wrote:Have you installed it? Does it feel any different? Did you do the plug also?k1dude wrote:I bought one of these:

Stator is ready to install. I just don't have time until Saturday.
If you're asking because of the lead color question, I was correct. I read in another unrelated DIY thread that I installed it correctly.
