No sprak

[Guest]

i cant seem to keep consistent spark on my 82 gs450t... i have replaced the entire wiring harness with a N.O.S. replaced the key switch replaced the hand control replaced the pickup coil and now im still not getting a consistent spark... so what next the tr ignitor? and help would be much appreciated

Consistent?? does it run and then die out or doesn't run period? Remove tank and check for + 12 volts at coils (between orange/white wire and good ground) when ignition and kill switch are on. Have you visited Basscliff's site for tips on checking ignition problems?

What about the mechanical advance? What's the exact issue you're having?

right on brother...


sorry i thought you said NO FRACK!

actually sounds like the spark control box going bad.. that's how one of mine went.

that same thing happened on another bike because of a hidden broken wire.

Someone on here recently had one which would do something like that, and when they pushed on it it would work. One suggest from Matchless was a possible dry solder joint on the board inside which makes sense. Getting into it is the problem...
