Dear All,

I am trying to clean/restore the wiring of a recently bought Alpina 213.

Need your help to clarify components and correct wiring

The stator has 5 coils, and 6 wires: black, yellow, green, green/yellow, red, grey

I found the black connected to ignition coil (and the bike runs 🙂 ) and kill switch. The red and the grey are not connected to anything. The green is earthed to the frame.

The yellow goes to horn (and it sounds) as well as main light switch.

Stop light does not work. Tail light always on...

My questions:

1/ is it possible to identify the coils and their functions? how to?

2/ I understand one coil is for ignition; should the different bulbs wired to different coils?

Thanks for your help,

I have an older model Alpina motor and a couple of Sherpa's and had Bultaco's in the 70's, but I have not seen a stator like this one before. Usually the points are in the 10 O'clock position where you can see when they open through the slots in the flywheel. On the Sherpa's, the black wire is the low tension lead for the HT coil, and where the condensor hooks into. Green is the earth and yellow the power lead for lights and horn. To ID the LT coil, follow the wire back from the points to a coil. Bye, Peter B.

The red wire is your brake light one. I can`t remember what the grey one is for. I will be able to look tomorrow though. I do have an owners manual for a M213 but it isn`t here.
