Boy...that really cleared that up....so is a Kawasaki and tons of other two cylinder engines. Nothing special.

I have replaced the twin tower ignition coils on some emergency generators during a emergency and the gen needed immediately by using two automotive coils by connecting the primary windings in series. (have to keep a heads up about correct polarity primaries when connecting in series)
Few years ago the Onan dual tower ignition coils were costly, not readily available and only available from Onan at prices higher than todays clones and long waiting period for a replacement.

All you did was supply 12V and ground to each of the coil's terminals. Series, parallel, whatever.....makes no difference as far as I know. Each gets 12V and ground on the correct terminal. The reluctor wheel's magnet on the crankshaft triggers a Hall effect transistor in the "ignition module" which dumps the primary and induces the secondary to collapse its field and that is dumped to ground thru the spark plug. If there were no module it would be points doing the work. Same thing for the dual tower. There is no magnet passing by a trigger coil to collapse the field induced in the primary by the magnet. So, yes, + is + and - is -....or bad things happen.
