    GS Ignitor Switch

    On my 81 GS 550L, I am not getting spark, so I'm assuming that its the ignitor which is causing this problem. I'm guessing its not the pulsar because I just got a new DYNA pulsar. I was wondering if, I a ignitor off of eBay that is a different year, only by a year or two, different engine cc size, but the same model number would it work on my bike?

    It might work, but I saw a LOT of "assuming" and "guessing" in your post, why not take some measurements and know FOR SURE that the ignitor is your problem?

      Do you even need the ignitor anymore?

      I thought that installing a Dyna replaced the need for an ignitor
