Default IGN Coil Wire Colors 93 Sportster Easy question

I have a 93 sportster in a box . Put the engine back together just need to know which ign feed goes to which cylinder... not the plug wires but the signal wires to the ign coils. i think i have pink and white... Thanks guys

P.S. i heard somethign about a wasted spark ignition on harleys so maybe it doesnt matter?

How many wires are in the connector? If there are only 2 then it is the wasted spark ignition. If there are 3 or 4 wires then you need a wiring diagram.

If I remember pink is signal, and white is +12v which recieves it's 12v from the handle bar run switch wire. Stock harleys have a dual fire ingition, meaning both plugs fire together all the time.......so essentially a wasted spark, but there is some debate wether it may be benefictial to performance. I have a 93-94 manual at home, so i'll check it tonight to be sure.

Caution for other readers: Not all Harleys are dual fire. HD converted to single fire ignition around 2000.

It doesn't make any differance which way you hook they up. Just plug them in and put the plug wires on which ever way they fit best and it will work.
