    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.

Hello all: I'm beginning to believe the ?G? in GS stands for Gremlins. Halloween night (non the less) I went to ride home from work. Lost both #1 and #4 cylinders. I know the spark emanates from the same coil and I recently changed both coils due to a screw up from an incompetent mechanic. After the new coils were installed the bike ran well, but there was nothing I could do to get the two cylinders running again Friday. I?ve traced the circuit on a schematic from the coil to the Igniters unit. I?m not a mechanic but with the new(er) coils I have to believe the problem maybe in the igniter unit Has anyone had anything similar occur to you bike. :-k

The joy of living in the north. I soon going to have to park the bike for the season. I?m already driving in low 30?s F.
 
Could also be one of the signal generators on the end of the crank if your bike has a pair of them.
 
Hey Rusty: Sorry I've put in so many question about the bike I forgot the year/model this time. 1982 GS1100gl.
 
Thanks. I thought about that, but I think this is to intermitant.

Did you put a Gremlin Bell on your bike yet?

When you installed the coils did you check to make sure they were the proper resistance. Incorrect coils could kill your ignitor. If you do the tests and find your ignitor is faulty a dyna-s unit is an inexpensive alternative to the stock ignitor.
