Default Curvy rear cylinder loosing spark

Bit of a strange one this so here goes;

I had a problem last year where my curvy wasn't charging properly with the headlights on, i replaced the rectifier recently but haven't been using the bike much so I'm not really convinced its working properly.
To put my mind at rest i bought a little digital voltmeter, yesterday i got round to wiring it in and attaching it to the bike, i read that people were tapping into the rear light feed for a switched live so i did the same and grounded it at the front.

When i started the bike today the meter was giving out some strange readings, i hen noticed the rear cylinder wasn't firing.

I changed the coils round and managed to conclude that both coils and both plugs were good, but stll no spark on the rear cylinder…… .
As a last resort I disconnected the voltmeter and as if by magic the rear started firing again… ..

So the question is what have I tapped into at the back then, from memory there appeared to be 3 switched lives on the big connection behind the tail light, I think I went for the one in the top corner..

Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance

Thinking about it this morning the wire I spliced into (white with a red tracer) might be a similar colour to what supplies the rear coil.

Is there a simple ecu on a curvy controlling advance/retard on the timing, if so does this reside at the back of the bike?

Looks like I've tapped in to the orange and white feed on the ignitor circuit..

Will back that adjustment out and use the attached wiring diagram…
