Suzuki TS 185 Pulsar coil problem

Hi Due to complete idiocy on my part I damaged one of the two pulsar (magneto) coils on my TS185. I managed to get a replacement, but after fitting it I can't get a spark at the plug. I don't know if I've damaged the CDI unit or incorrectly wired the two pulsar coils. I wonder if there is anyone here who can advise me on how to connect these two coils. Here is what I have and what I have done.
The two coils sit one on top of the other with the larger one below. The top coil (smaller) has two connections one at each end, the larger bottom one only one connection on the right hand side. I have connected the left connection on the top (smaller coil) to the solitary connection on the right hand side of the bottom (coil) and then connected this to the red and white wire on the CDI. The right hand connection on the top coil is connected to the red and black wire on the CDI (I can send photos if necessary). I think this is the way they were wired originally, but I'm not sure as the connections were covered in epoxy resin. Still no spark and I'm baffled! Sorry I'm not actually a World Motorcycle Traveller , but I am English and living in Mexico with a Motorcycle so I guess I sort of could qualify as a Motorcycle traveller if you can stretch your imagination a little. Thanks

Smile Spend pix....

Hi there. Send the pix to the address in my profile and I will see what I can do. I can't get to my bikes now as I'm laid up with an injured foot, but I do have two of these and have had TS185s for years. I'll check the manuals I have to see if they have any pictures that might help.

Regards

Thumbs up Good Onya

Well done. Never, in the 6-8 185s I have had has the electrics caused problems. Most of them were used as farm bikes so they got a real hammering.

Cheers

It wasn't the bikes fault it was all mine. I damaged the coil when I removed the flywheel to alter the ignition timing.
Thanks
