    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Help with a work around.

After much head scratching, I realized that there is no condensor at the end of my new coil, and that the condensors arnt in the ignition timer. Can anyone help me figure out how to add a condensor into the system or find me Suzuki GS400 coils with condensors on them for a decent price?
 
I'm not hardly versed on this subject but I looked in my manual for you.

It appears that the 79 and earlier models have breaker points systems with coils, condensers and points. Later models, like mine, have the same coils but instead of points and condensers, signal generator and igniter unit. I'm no authority but it looks like they're just electrolytic capacitors in metal cans. Maybe someone can specify their properties so you can replace them.

Or you could get coils from 1980 or later with them preinstalled.

So it seems,

condenser

condenser

In dummy terms the condenser is an electrcal shock absorber, you should be able to go to an auto supply house and get some for a 12volt system and wire them in, mostly the size will vary in dimensions and mount tab so take your stuff with you so you can make sure they will fit in the space allowed.
 
bought condensors from napa, didnt work out. Still need a proper GS400 condensed coil =\
