"Hit you Up DUDE "... "Roll, Dude" Are the things I never said, which you placed in quotes. I found them derogatory and insulting. I'm over it.

Whatever, who cares..... It's not like I haven't gone off half-cocked on other forums before, so let's just sweep this under the rug. You're clearly a knowledgeable person, I was never trying to assert otherwise. I just think you've got the circuit flow inverted, which anybody could do.

Okay, let's abandon the flame here and work towards getting this thread with the correct info. I'd like to see the schematic very much. I'd like to comment on it, as I am quite capable of reading a schematic.

What I am suspecting is that there may be some similarity to the old Harley design, where the secondary of the ignition coil has a positive and negative tap, and is also center tapped, with the center tap grounded. In this setup, either the positive or negative high voltage is satisfied to arc to chassis ground.

One thing that just cannot be true is the notion that the plugs themselves are in the middle of the circuit. If that were the case, removing one would prevent the second from firing, and anecdotal evidence shows that this is simply not the case.

Like I said before, I think what we will discover from the schematic is that the coil is in the middle of the series circuit, and the plugs are on either end. There is no way I can see the plugs being in the middle of the circuit, since I just cannot see how a spark can possibly travel across the engine block at ground potential, and then still arc across another plug. It just isn't possible.

What I am describing is the same as what you are describing, except that I truly feel that you have described the circuit path correctly, just backwards. I suspect that the engine block is the endpoint on both ends of the circuit, and the coil is in the middle. That WOULD work...... The coil has to be in the middle, sucking the electrons from one plug and pushing them into the other.

I also think that if you take into account that electrons flow from negative to positive, you will see my point more clearly.

I know I said I wouldn't continue on this thread, but since we are talking about the circuit again, let's get to the bottom of it.

I apologize if I offended you in any way, it certainly was not my intent. I only aim to get to the truth, which ultimately benefits us all.


Thanks,
