nah it might not matter at all . if it's sparking ok not connected to anything it won't matter .

if it's sparks it will work . Whether or not it is a good coil to use for that specific engine is another matter . Just a good option to have if needed .

As I said the old Formula E rotax inline 250 twins had 2, mounted side by side and you would run an earth from the 2 junctioned together , . Came standard with the engine and retailed for around $350-400 per unit . Was stock standard and did the job . Those with $$ who wanted a better suited one that got a bit better performance from the engine with slight mods chased down a smaller European company that had them made specificly for superkarters .

yep, those type, perhaps not the same serial number and model are pretty universal and were used as a stock replacement for the rotax superkart engines ie 256 in line twin , 257 single 250 rotary valve. Seen them old older rotax rotaries, Aprillia motorbikes, older Formula C engines ie rotax 128 , tmkv95's rotaries etc . Like PVL being the control one for KZ now .  

 

With it's universal purpose with motorcycles , karts , rotax light air craft etc  it can also be used and routed through your kill switch for the earth that's required with that . 

on a dirt bike with no lighting coils , starters etc that earth tab would  tap into  a wire from the cdi that would direct to the push button stop that was earthed under the switch on the handle bar .  saves running 2 earths .

Generally bike coils that have no earth out will be ground directly to the frame from the bolt mount hole used to mount it to the chassis .

 

If your running a kill switch on the wheel or nassau, you should be able to join them together than have one ground off the engine etc.
