      Would someone know the original colors of the wires on the C series Light Twins. I am going to attempt to rebuild my coil and would like to get it as original looking as possible. Unfortunately mine were completely covered in friction tape.
      Thanks

        Wires are black. Not sure of the color
        of the 2 wires under the insulation that
        go to the battery but what I have found
        available are white and black. I believe
        the original wires going to the battery
        were the web cloth insulation type and
        your not likely to find anybody
        producing that with the black insulation
        covering that they used back then today.

            Well I guess they do make some and
            would be correct for your coil as Tom
            has posted. Got to looking in my files
            and this picture shows some black
            cloth covering still remaining with
            brown cloth covered inside.

            I was thinking of the earlier Super Elto
            coils that had the rubber insulation.
            (Well this coil came off an earlier
            motor. Could be a replacement?)

            You should go with what Tom has posted.

              Thanks for the information and the links. I am sure I will have more questions as I go along.
