Going too put it back on tomorrow night for one last go I'll let you know if I'm happy or pissed off

Rider just wondering if I need too have the coil regulator set up too complete a circuit just tried it with the battery on the bench and it still has power but have the power back to the indicator switch wires. Maybe I should just wait now and wire up the complete bike too make sure. If it's buggered I'll have too buy another as I got it off eBay from the states.

 

As good an idea as any I reckon,

If it changed (back to originally) how it operates from discconecting it from the bike to the bench it's well worth a shot.

I was thinking earlier that one would get a horrible surprise if one opened the little bugger up, It's probabley a nice little glued up set if Intergrated Circuits that can't be fucked with.

I just spent a bit of time checking out the results for  "Ultima 18-533 Problems"  FARK,,, don't go there, you're not Robinson Carusoe when it comes to problems with this unit.

 

Cheers rider might finish up on the bike and strip it for final welding before blasting at least if it's buggered I'll just get another one save the pain cheers again for all your help will let you know how it goes

Another quick question I have the black and white wire going too power the coil so does the other connection run a earth wire back too the battery

 

The other connection on the coil go back to Earth ?   NO.

 

Well sort of,,,,  but only through a condensor and breaker points, or an electronic ignition module.

 

One side of a coil is connected to the power, (in your case the Blk/Wht wire), and the other is connected to the ignition distributor.

(which opens and closes the circuit in the coil to induce the secondary  (BIG ONE) spark at the plugs.)

So am I right to put that too the ignition switch

 

No,,, theoretically, the Ultima box has done the connection from the Ignition switch to the (+)side of the coil already, that's the Blk/Wht wire and supplies the power. 

(Basic wiring would supply power to the coil from the Ignition switch)

 

The other (-) side of the coil would go to either the, condensor/breaker points, ( at timming cover housing) or the wire that comes from the sensor unit with electronic ignition. 

 

What type of ignition is on your 1200 ?

 

Edit; was just thinking that you may have to check the old wiring that is being replaced to trace some of the question marks.

Cheers rider thanks for all the Information cause of you iv stripped all the old wiring with original wiring diagrams and found everything I need off the old wiring for the bike.your help with my issues have helped me greatly and I thank you again.

I might be able to help if you are in Perth

I also have a Ultima Wiring kit, model 18-533. I am having an issue with the headlight. I checked the wirining harnes and ground, every thing was o.k.. My multimeter shows 10.5 volts to the headlight, which is not lighting the bulb. the I did a direct to the battery test on the headlight and it works, both high and low beam. Has anyone had this issue and if so how was it resolved. Thank you for any assistance.
