Hello I have a whites dfx and a 10x12 sef coil with a bad plug but did work intermittent and pinpoint worked also, so to fixI cut and re soldered plug now the coil works great except when I pinpoint it is off not in the middle but on the sides, first set of wires were# 2 black wire,# 1 copper strands. Second set is,clear coated wire went to #4,copper strand went to #5. I did copy them exactly am I missing anything!

Sounds like you have 2 wires backward, maybe some one on here can explain which color wires go to what.

Double check your connections, though looks to be the same as my SEF/DFX coil. Some intricate soldering required here. Be sure there are not wires touching, you can interleave the terminals with small strips of electrical tape. See how it works without the outer sleeve connected. Maybe it is causing a short. Good luck, but could be a bad coil.

Thank you for the info I will double check the connections and use tape in between connections and I will double check wires on the right numbers.
