This should be bolted to the back of the junction box (and naturally the frame) and one earth goes to the coil, and the other to the rear bolt that holds the fan cowling on. If you haven't got this...

Re: LIS150 ignition circuit needed please

sorry- confused now You were asking for the minimum required to test for a spark- that is connect the green stator wire to the coil. If you then kick over the engine, with the HT lead on the plug against the block itself, that should prove one way or another if you have a spark. If you want to see ...
