CB500/550 / Re: Has anyone used these coils?

First, I hope you all enjoy your cheap generic coils of unknown quality and further...[...]To put it simple: in a wasted spark system, one of the two, is already jumping from ground to center electrode, so if the spark of say #1 plug becomes reversed, than the #4 plug will be reversed the other way around, because they are one circuit. For the running of the engine, it makes no difference which of the two fires from ground to center electrode: performance is the same.
If the coils are connected the wrong way round the bike will run but the HT spark will be reversed so instead of jumping from the centre spark plug tip to earth the spark path is reversed. {...}
