Discussion:
No spark, wiring mess

Hi guys, need some help here.... new to forklifts, but not mechanics.
I've got a GP30 that i've inherited from my work to fix. Another shop was working on it,... and there has been lots of wiring butchery.
CAT GP30 Ser. 7AM01260 LPG
Can anyone help me find a wiring diagram to get the ignition wired correctly. It had the wrong coil, and it wasn't even hooked up. I don't know which wires go where, and if it's even supposed to have a ballast resistor. (it has one)

I've got the correct coil for it now, but am lost as what goes where.
