usually they only have one wire coming out.

just wrap it around your spark plug lead 5 or 6 times and vwallah..

unit itself normally runs on batteries, most come with a tacho to now

G'day Rick

The YFZ's dont have a traditional spark plug lead which makes it difficult

The best way ive found to do it is to wrap the trigger wire around the top of the coil/plug cap as much as you can and then wrap it in electrical tape to keep it there.

I had a rider mower with an hour meter ,someone left the ignition switch on and it gained 85 hrs before the battery went too flat to run the hr meter,so i'd have to say all you need is to hook it to an ignition power source.
