Add your model and year to your signature or here in the post. It will help to know what model were talking about here.

If it is the IC unit your looking at, the IC Igniter will have 4 wires coming to it (or less depending on your model) from the engine pick ups/points area.Then there will be 4 wires coming out from the silver box (IC Igniter) green, black, red and balck/yellow. The colors may be different on your bike, check a wiring diagram. The red goes to battery +, balck/yellow to battery - or ground, anth the green and blacks go to the coils.
