Just got the new "upgraded" coil for a Force 125HP. The old one had a ground wire attached to them, the new ones don't. Has anyone installed these?
If so how do you wire the GND?
Thanks
Here is the install info from CD (No mention of GND connection)I: Installation
1. Remove the original coil, saving the original bolts, and cut off the primary lead (usually a white or blue striped wire) as close to the coil as possible.


  1. Strip approximately 1⁄4" of insulation from the primary lead.
  2. Slide the heat shrink on the wire, then crimp and solder the #6 terminal to it.
  3. Mount the new coil assembly from the bottom side of the plate using the original bolts.
  4. Connect the new coil wire from the coil to the spark plug.
  5. Connect the primary lead from the pack to the coil.

The new coil will be grounded through the mountingbolts of the coil.
To prevent ignitionproblems check that you have a good ground of the engineblock to the lower enginecowl especially if the minuswire from the battery is bolted to the lower cowl.
There should be a thick wire at the side of the engine, I think on the same side as the fuelpump.
