1985-70hp johnson power pack wires

[patrick4266]

Can some one please tell me where the wires on a 1985-70hp johnson power pack go. I had the power pack off and am confused on which wire goes where to the coils. These wires are orange with different colored stripes on them. I have tried different combinations but the timing seems to be off. Some times it starts for a second but back fires.

Wire with blue tracer goes to #1 cyl. Wire with green tracer goes to #3 cyl. Other goes to # 2 cyl. Blue for sky, green for grass.

I'm having the same problem, but the orange wire with the green stripe is too short to reach any other coil but the middle one. Needing help to connect the wires on my power pack to my 1985 Johnson 70 HP motor.
