Re: I made it go! (Newb questions)

Ok, so if I understand this right, it doesn't matter if I have the
coils in the "right" order, as long as I have them grouped properly?

e.g. (wish I could add a picture)

Wire 1
Tap 1&2 -- Three make one coil group
Wire 2

Wire 3
Tap 3&4 -- The other coil group
Wire 4

So if I have my wiring order actually like this:

Wire 2
Tap 1&2 -- Three make one coil group
Wire 1

Wire 3
Tap 3&4 -- The other coil group
Wire 4

Its still fine - it'll just go the opposite direction? If so, then
really all I have to do is swap one coil's wires and thats it?
Nothing else nasty happens? (No smoke yet, so I guess so :D )
