Regardless of which coil is mounted where, the important thing is that the wire from the left pick-up (under the points cover) goes to whichever coil is firing the outside spark plugs #1 and #4.
And that the wire from the right pick-up (under the points cover) goes to whichever coil is firing the inside spark plugs #2 and #3.
Good Fortune!

If you did any electrical work on the advancer, check the position of the rotor.zed1015 wrote: The backfiring out of the intake and exhaust actually sounds like the timing is 180 deg out.
Have you had any work on the electrics whilst waiting for the carbs to be done ?
It sounds like you need a manual, but even if you have a paper one, you should download the ones in my signature.
It's nice for printing out sections and preventing the book from getting messed up with grease.
Also read the valve train warning before taking off the valve cover.
The starting issue can be missing choke flaps. There is a link to Tk22 carb info, and pictures of the flaps so you can check for missing ones.

I had some backfiring at the beginning of the season and realized my filter was clogged and was only putting a small amount of fuel in the carbs :lol:
Mine on my 650 was gummed up on the screens and didn't let fuel flow very well. Check both sediment bowl and inlet in tank.
