    Gs550 1979 led blinkers flash erratically

    I have not checked the ripple nor the amps, i will do that, thanks! I did however disconnect the r/r and stator and did not make a difference (this would eliminate ripple and output right?) what changed is: -The Kokusan ignition had the wrong condensers i swapped these out to the right ones (I...

    Gs550 1979 led blinkers flash erratically

    You’re right, thanks, i was checking over the wiring diagram and have mistaken it with a honda one. On the honda one it is for driving light and suzuki it connects to the green/ white wire from stator. i did check it yesterday if it made any difference but nothing for the blinker issue.

Played around a bit and noticed that turning the backplate while the light was on made no difference, but when the light was off (between |1/4 and |F...

    Ignition points timing trouble gs550e

    I?ve decided to buy new points and condensers, hope that sorts it out. The points now seem to be shot and very sparky. Might upgrade to dyna ignition later but want to get things running first and to save some money. just purchased a wideband 02 kit so money is kinda low, super stoked to get...

    Ignition points timing trouble gs550e

    Right thanks! How do i adjust the points to retard the timing? Moving the back plate did not do anything to the light.

    Ignition points timing trouble gs550e

    thanks for the reply! - The light actually comes on before the |f1 mark and stays on way after te T mark. - light is hooked up on the white wire and grounded to the engine case.
