Colin, it's a bit late to go grubbing around in the garage but I converted mine about three months ago. I'll take a look at where the orange wire went and try and get back to you tomorrow.

Hello Colin, Gripper, Felt terribly guilty when Colin 'phoned today I had 6 customers in the shop, I was on my own and every time I tried to serve somenone, the 'phone rang!!Colin, if you don't mind, we'll keep the thread going to help other people in the same situation.Last job for me this evening, I'll 'repair' any broken download links on the tech info side of the Startright site. Sorry Many thanks to all who help out with tech answers, the forum is fast becoming an excellent source of information.Graham

Hi Colin, I've used a couple of piggy back type spade connectors and connected as follows, Black from the digi box piggy backs onto black at the ignition relay (earth) Orange piggy backs onto yellow and white at the ignition relay (live with ignition on) I didn't use the red, I think that was for sidestand cutout. You may need to replace your coils and I replaced mine with two normal 12v PVM items If you use 6V you may need a ballast resistor in the white common earth wire from the coils. Richard Negus enlightened me on this forum as to the operating of the Hitachi coils used in conjunction with the Sparkrite ign box.Dave E
