Hey all!

I have a 1985 GS700ES and replaced the plugs and wires and forgot to write down how they hook back up. I know facing forward the plugs are 1 2 3 4 from left to right (I'm pretty sure) but not sure from coil packs. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Okay so I have new NGK wires and they are not marked. So I get the One coil feeds cyl 1 & 4 and the other does 2 & 3. But I don't get the 

White LT wire goes to coil 1, black/yellow does coil 2? Were the old wires marked? I did up a diagram so I can leave it online for others, I just need to connect the dots. Just need to know on coil packs. Which wires on coil pack #1 ( 1&4) are 1&4... ETC for coil pack 2. Hope that makes sense. I will update diagram once I have it. Thanks!

The wiring on the actual coils are:

Coil #1 Top wire -- yellow/white 

             Bottom wire -- orange/white

 

Coil #2 Top wire -- black/white

             Bottom wire -- orange white

I was guessing / hitting the old memory on wire colours and using 'std.' suzuki colours but  as you've indicated there is a variation. The Orange/white will be ign. live power in and is common to both coils. #1 yellow/white is LT trigger. I'm wary about saying Black/white is correct as that colour is usually an earth or ground wire colour ! Are you sure its white as over the years yellow will pale significantly so it could have been originally yellow and not white?

On your diagram the LH coil (#1) has spark leads going to cyl 1 and cyl 4 . . . . . . . the RH coil has spark leads going to cyl 2 and cyl 3. It makes no difference which post is used for which lead as long as they go to the right coil. If you are likely to get confused just put small cable ties around each lead - 1 for cyl 1, 2 for cyl 2 etc - its fool proof and even easy to identify in the dark !
