Marelli electronic ignition, single pick-up. The wiring diagram resembles the 906 paso wiring, but not completely. So if anyone could help, grazzi

Thanks in advance

Joost, check this out http://www.bevelheaven.com/manuals/900S ... %20180.htm You can find this and other info here http://www.bevelheaven.com/manual-index.htm Let us know if this helps, Jordan

Hi Jordan,

Thanks for your reply. Before I posted this topic I checked beavelheaven.com (amongst a lot off other sites/places) for the manual/wiring diagram, but it seems like the 1989-1990 900SS manual is the only one which is not available somewhere.

As I said, it resembles the 906 paso diagram a lot. It uses a lot of paso parts, so (maybe..) that's not weird. The only major difference from the paso wiring is that the power/current to the ignition coils and electronic ignition unit is switched on/of by means of a solenoid that is operated by the run/off switch. I think that it has something to do with improving the the reliability/endurance (quicker switch on/off of the power) of the Marelli unit, because that unit is (and always was) a real problem child.
Anyway, this solenoid is causing major problems, and I prefer to rebuild the wire harness to the one used on a 906 (easier and normal application). But if there's a very good reason to use the before mentioned solenoid, it is beter to rebuild it in original state.

I hate to say but your SS may be too new for the published liturature. Have you tried a local dealership or repair shop? Many often keep older manuals for reference.

Yep, tried that too.

Best thing to do is keep posting on here and get involved in the discussions. Someone out there with more knowledge will be able to help.

If you can dig up a diagram from a 89-90 750 Sport it would most likely be the same. I think what you are calling a solenoid is a relay used to power the coils and it is there to avoid running the current through the kill switch.
