This is probably a dumb question and admittedly I am very electrically challenged but would wiring up a battery in place of the capacitor not be a worthwhile experiment? I apologize if this was already addressed in the thread an I just missed it.

Help!
Anyway, I only see 6 wires from your harness and (not speaking gonzo) I don't know why it's 8-6 pigtail. Anyway, here's my interpretation of harness wires' colors to pigtail

DR! - lol, one of us is on the wrong thread - I've got so many going it could be me!

Just tried this with no luck again :/. I got a second 6 pin connector convert my harness to a 6 to work with the adapter.

yes I pulled those wires from my harness and put them in the 6 pin to connect to the gn250. Im not really sure if i have the safety relay, electrical work is not my strong point.
Just to be clear - the wires from harness as they appear in your 1st pic at your post #80 do not match my interpretation of how they should be in that connector block. See how I've marked wire colors on Jim's 8 terminal in my pic at post #82 ?

yeah I see what you did. I have them lined up like that now. My intuition was telling me that the initial way I tried didnt make sense, but I didnt want to stray from how i understood the diagram.
Based off what JP added to my diagram (thanks JP. I need to add that info) and based on the pic's from your other thread post, I think you wired the 6pin connector wrong. I think your pic showed the orange wire on an end pin?
Ah.... I see you figured that out. Never mind. Any luck now?

To clarify, I pulled the 5 wires out of the stock tci harness, and plugged them into the extra 6 pin connecter that I got. I followed the "1 to C..." to line up the wires in the 6 pin connector with the one that goes into the gonzo. Is that correct?
Looks like orange goes between the Wh/r and the R/w. Makes it the middle wire in a three pin row

Still not getting anything. Also checked that the gonzo is getting 12 volts and my coils is also getting 12 volts.
Just in case this wasn't clear. When testing an ignition coil; the spark happens when you REMOVE the power not when you connect it.
Is your rotor magnet strong?
That orange wire from coil (coil gnd signal) to harness, that we unhooked a few days ago for "tap test" - did that get reconnected properly?

Yep that got hooked back up. I just installed an mp08 coil in as well so that’s fresh with new plug wires as well.
I don’t think my magnets are weak, as this bike was running okay right before I welded the frame.
