Hey, sorry for the delay I have been without internet.
I am happy to report that I am back in business.
I switched coil wires and after two kicks, it fired right up!
I want to note here that my bike is a 1980 xs400G
the Haynes manual wiring diagram for the G and SG models shows gray to the left and orange to the right. This is incorrect. It should be gray to the right and orange to the left. This should be correct for the 80 and 81 models with the TCI.
I have been out riding the last few days and it feels great!
All of my wiring is good, charging system is working flawlessly and no more backfires.
Here is the wiring diagram that I created.
If anyone has any questions let me know.
Some of the wiring is different for other models.
Mainly, the field coil and the ign coils.
Some models have the Black from the field coil wired to ground but the TCI models have the Black wired to hot.
Also, like I have stated above the 80 and 81 with TCI are gray on the right, orange on the left.
Let me know if you have any other questions, hopefully the colors are straight forward.
