    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

Spark problem

We thought we had a bad ignitor, found one, put it on and we had spark on each plug. Put the tank back on and one cylinder flooded and we lost all spark. We thought we fried the ignitor at first. We unhooked the battery and after we done this we got our spark back. Does the ignitor sense the excess fuel and shut down?

No, an ignitor is just electronic points for the ignition. It is a few transistors that do the switching job that the points used to handle.

However, WE might shut down. :eek:
Presumably you are talking about a motorcycle, because you are on a motorcycle forum and mentioned "ignitor".
However, we have NO idea what bike you are talking about or what else you might have done, as this is your first post.

By the way,

Put your bike/model/year in your signature - User CP stuff in top left of page.
Spark came back ?? good,are plug wires on correct plugs?
Is this bike new to you ? what recent maintenance has been done or not?

Please remove "CDI" from your GS vocabulary, it does not exist.

You have an IGNITOR with that part number.

Just because you might see that device called that on eBay does NOT mean that it's correct.
