    No Spark to Left Head

    Hey Guys,

    I own a 1980 GS 450 andI get no spark to my left spark plug. It's not the spark plug, nor the coil, what else can I test?

    Thanks,

    Check your signal generator and the wire connectors coming off of it. Check connector at ignitor.

      You can also check the plug wire and the connector that sits on top of the spark plug.

      Common fix there is to unscrew the connector from the wire, trim back about 1/4", screw the connector back on.

        Hi Mr. mjpauckert,

        A couple more thoughts; It's possible that you just have a bad plug. Are you getting 12 volts to both coils? In addition to the tips above, there are more ignition troubleshooting tips on my little website. Now let me share some GS lovin'.
