I changed the coils around in order to find out if one of them were broken (which was the case).
However, I didn't pay attention to that the coils were marked + and -. Does anyone know which wire goes where? The wires colors are quite faded, but I think there is one green, one green with a white stripe, one blue and one blue with a white stripe, comming out of the CDI box to the coils.

Why are the coils marked with + and -? I didn't expect a coil to have any polarity..
What would the effect be of a wrong connection?
