Triumph update on coil wiring

OK I tried to start it and failed and thought I had done something wrong on the valves (which could be the case still). Ididn't seem to have the appropriate wires going to the coils especially coil number one - OK This is half the issue, I am numbering the coils starting with Nr.1 at the back and nr. 3 at the front. I had somehow managed to lose the Nr1 coil wires and in there place I out the coolandt sensor wires which even in my heart of hearts I knew was wrong but hey they had the same connectors as the other coils. Anyway I should be concentrating on what is now right : this is an exert of a thread I read from the Triumph rat.net forum which simplified everything in my head - poor head. the colours, are in the manual but it doesn't tell you which cylinder it should feed The blow gives you all the information you need: left hand mount on frame coil No1, red + green. right hand front mount on frame coil No 2 , red + yellow/blue right hand rear mount on frame , coil No 3 , red + brown/yellow. SHould at least stand a chance of starting now.
