These are also the clearest/sharpest copies i could find as well ( plus color coded).

These can go bad though, best way is to check it with a voltmeter, you should be producing about 12-14v at full rpm, and about 6v or so at idle.

Dont quote me on this, dangeroustoys will have a better idea.

I ran it to a toggle switch as a sort of secondary cutoff along with the coil wire. I can't remember how I wired it in though.

Correction, I have a 16 hp twin briggs pig, ordered a new coil as the one the motor had was burnt at the ground and wires where coming from inside the plastic. So, technically once i install and gap the new coil w/ the ground unattached the motor should give me some spark, correct?, from there I can bypass wiring like the diagram from fearlessfront, and be set to dominate the back 1/2 acre.
