the idle swithc is underneath, you should hear it click with throttle shut, if you press the switch on top it actually has the same effect when at idle as both switches are wired in parallellellel
id be happy with a value that varys between 1.5 and 1.8

coil -ve is the one with the red/black wire going to it, bit tricky to unplug as its in a double plug with the trigger wire from tci, so you would have to pull it off, pop the red/black wire pin out of the connector and reconnect it, then plug the timin light in.
