You will find the installation instructions. A packet containing the magnets and connectors, and the electronic ignition.
Put the magnets into place.
Pass the wires through the passage in the engine cowling.
Fit the electronic ignition in place with its two bolts, but do not tighten them completely.
Fit the wires correctly into place until they arrive at the coil.
You can now connect the connectors to the end of the wires.
The red wire is the positive terminal from the ignition key, this is connected to positive terminal on the coil. It has a male connector.
Before crimping make sure you position the wire so that you crimp on the copper.
For the two other wires. Black is connected to the negative terminal of the coil, and the yellow to the positive terminal. Both have female connectors.
The positive wire on the coil which corresponds to the positive from the ignition key, is connected to the red wire.
The yellow wire is connected to the coil's positive terminal.
The black wire is connected to the coil's negative terminal.
Your installation is finished, you need to ensure the wires are tidy.
You will now regulate the ignition's timing.
Find the static timing point.
Insert the 6 mm rod through the hole in the crankcase.
Slowly turn the flywheel until the rod is blocked.
The rod should pass through a hole.
The static timing point, is at 8 degree before the top dead centre.
It is important that you remove the rod.
Reconnect the battery.
Once you have connected the battery you will notice a LED lit on the front of the ignition.
Turn the electronic ignition towards the left until the LED goes out.
Now turn toward the right until the LED relights.
Your ignition is now set. Tighten the two fixing bolts.
Before reinstalling all of the accessories, try starting up the car.
Everything is fine, then you can start to reinstall the accessories.

I fitted one of these and the engine runs lovely and smooth. Well worth the money and effort
cool, nice to have English here...merci !
Good/Muy bueno!!
Brill with the translations as the instructions with the Mehari one are in French! Tip - my LED did not light-up at first as the original wires to the coil were swapped the wrong way around on the coil terminals - just swap new red male wire onto the other original female wire.

....remove the pin before starting the engine....
At 3:25 He says "The red wire is the positive terminal from the ignition key, this is connected to the positive terminal on the coil". Mmmmm..... The red wire he has in his hand is from the electronic ignition, not the ignition key. So it comes from the electronic ignition to the coil? Which is it?
