I am wanting to replace the coil on my Onan 6.5 generator. I am replacing the old (original) coil and need some advise on the wiring. Aside from the plug wires --- the old coil has 2 wires. 1 wire goes into the points and the 2nd wire goes into what I'm assuming is a DC (12v) feed. The negative or ground is on the metal plate on the side.
The new coil has 2 connection ----- clearly marked ---- + and -. I'm assuming the 2 wires for the old coil connection both go to + (positive) but I would feel better if someone can confirm this.
I was going to add pics, but apparently I don't know how -- The old coil is the military style with the braided plug wires. The new coil is just a standard 2 plug wire coil. ---
Base on this sketchy description, can someone offer advise? -- Thanks
