David Silver Ignition Coils
« on: September 07, 2020, 06:24:58 PM »
Hi, only just joined the forum so apologies is this is a repeat question....I did search but couldn’t find anything on this so here goes.....

I have a pair of new coils for my CB550K3 purchased from David Silver a few years back.  They are marked with the cylinder feeds 1-4 and 2-3 but the low tension connectors on both coils have no labels....I would usually expect a + and a -.  My question is which connector connects to which wire on the loom....there is a black and white (common to both coils) and a blue for one coil (cyl 1/4) and a yellow for the other (cyl 2/3).  My assumption, as the connectors on the new coils aren’t marked is that it doesn’t matter.....but would appreciate confirmation or otherwise of that before connecting up.  Thank you.

Hi I’m sure someone will advise re the coloured wires but I think on my more recent DSS coils for my 500 there was a + and - but just a bit feint to spot. My kit came with some adapter wires that both just needed female bullet connectors putting on one end.

Thanks Jeremy.  I have looked very closely and can’t see any marker next to the terminals on the coils.  Like yours I got two small looms to connect the coils to the main bike loom....and mine have the bullets on ready to go..!

Thanks again.....👍
