So I have a mag tht has 3 wires, white,blue,and black. The white and blue wires are attached where the black ND blue should be. While the the black wire isn't attached at all. Has anyone had this issue?:-||

The black wire is the ground. It attaches to the magneto under one of the screws that hold the mag to the engine case.

Don't use the white wire for anything. Insulate it so it can't come in contact with any metal. Splice the blue to the blue from the CDI and the black to the black from the CDI.

If you're using the kill button, and you should use it, the wire colors from it doesn't matter. Splice them into the two splices of the blue and black wires.

Good luck and let us know how things work. These questions and problems is why this forum was established. We like to see people have fun with their bikes and know they have a place to come for answers to questions they might have.
