Hi all,
apologies for this, I've looked everywhere for an answer, but this one has stumped me and i'm aware you get quite a few questions on this topic. I'm not in a position to check the voltage as i'm still putting the car together after an complete strip down and re-build.
Now I took a lot of pictures before I stripped her down, but for some stupid reason forgot to take one of the coil! doh!
So it's a box standard original 1994, 1275, HIFF carb, electronic ignition, Mini 35 LE
First picture is of the coil as I've wired it this morning. Top of the coil is negative, bottom is positive. The solid white cables I have going to the positive at the bottom, one is from the loom, the other (labeled 1 and arrowed) travels down to the module on the side of the dizzy. Now the fact it has solid white cables leads me to think it isn't ballasted, am I right? so no white and yellow cable going to the starter? (see second photo as to why I'm confused). (EDIT) There is also a black earth cable from the positive going to some kind of resistor attached to the block.
the black and white cables 'I have put to the negative, one comes from the loom, the other travels down to the module on the side of the dizzy.

Now looking at the second photo (this was taken during the strip down), i think i can clearly see a white and yellow cable (arrowed), but for the life of me I can not find this wire in my loom or anywhere for that matter. I've stripped back the tape, it isn't there. Does anyone know what this wire could be? Perhaps it wasn't in the loom and separate and I've simply mislaid it. Should I have a white and yellow cable, I don't have a white and pink cable? I'm very confused .com at the moment.
Much appreciated.
Dean
