Thanks and enjoy your visit.

The test listed aboive where i got 2.3 ohms is where I tested the black and white stripe wire with one lead in the end of the black / white stripe wire at the pedal switch and the other lead was in the end of it (the black white stripe wire ) that goes into the CDI box.

I will test the black white stripe wire to the negative battery as you indicate above asa possible.

For sure your picture helps. I need to run a ring connected grounding wire to the outside of my coil as your picture shows. I will connect it to the screw that is close that goes into the motor black. I think i see a ring connector on that bolt in your pic, but its sort of cut off at the bottom
