Triumph TR4A Ignition
The instructions that come with a 123 ignition are not so great. So if you are wondering what the yellow wire is for it is to go to a switch so that you can switch between curves. Curve 1 is around town. Curve 2 is sport.
We have gone for a 123 Electronic Ignition for the Triumph TR4A. You can visit the website for 123 HERE.

The switch you can see below id so we can flip between curves. The illuminated switch next to it is for the heated windscreen.
