wiring swap

[WAYNE8622]

hey everyone, new to this stuff..


was accidentally sent the wrong wiring harness for my 79 xs400f. was sent an 80...

didnt want to go through the whole shipping back and what not, and have almost everything rewired for it. BUT, ran into 1 problem- the pick up on the 79 has 2 wires while the 80 has 3.

can this be bypassed?

thanks
wayne

I'd send it back. You'll be completely rewiring the ignition.
Download the Haynes manual and compare the F to G model wiring diagrams. Totally different between the 79's points ignition and the 80's TCI.
