I have removed my coils and spark plug wires to replace my valve cover gasket and did not mark where the proper wires are placed back. I think #1 & #4 are left side and #2 & #3 are right side coils. But I do not remember which hole the top or bottom of the coil these wires go into. Or which wires connect to the red and black on the left side and the red and green on the right side. Thanks in advance. BIGD

All sounds correct.

Plug wires within the same coil are interchangeable.

The small wires to the two primary terminals on a coil are also interchangeable (as the primary windings aren't polarized).

Good Fortune! :)

Just plug 1 and 4 into one coil (doesnt matter what port), and 2 and 3 into the other coil.

Then connect red and green to 1 coil, and red and black to other (doesnt matter which connector).

Try to start the bike. It will either start like normal, or crank over several times and afterfire.
Its loud if it afterfires, but its ok, it wont hurt anything, unless you did it many times.

If afterfires, just switch the green and black wires across coils, and she'll fire right up!

Cheers!
