Good day,
this is Larry, I am on Kermit’s account because he brought this posting to my attention and he works at our custom building shop. People seem confused about the white wire thing so hopefully this helps
First off, you can hook electrical up several ways and it will work but that does not mean it is correct or that you have not caused another problem by hooking the electrical up incorrectly. Bottom line, if you hook it up wrong but you are happy with it then have at it and don't look back, you are happy and life goes on.
The coil has 2 windings, if they were both meant to be used at the same time then they would both be grounded at the same end, they are grounded at opposite ends. This is done so that the magnetic fields cancel each other to stop current flow in the ignition coil without a direct connection to the ignition coil.
The above paragraph is what it is, that simple, not smoke and mirrors, no magic.
If you disagree then please refer to above where it says "Bottom line, if you hook it up wrong but you are happy with it then have at it and don't look back, you are happy and life goes on".
Thank you and have a good day,
Larry
