GS650E - Stock Wiring loom?

[Albino Rhino]

Hi guys, I just registered for this site and already it has been extremely helpful. Over the summer I picked up a 1982 GS650E (the chain drive model) for $300, it was in pretty bad cosmetic shape (and the frame had been "modded" to allow for a different seat), but after correctly connecting the wiring I got it started fairly easily.

However, after working on it some more (between classes and on a very small budget) I started to get very intermittent spark. I've narrowed it done to the igniter unit, and am thinking about switching to the Dyna S.

My question is whether the blue electrical tape surrounding the O/W (right before the coils) is stock? There were some other homemade solutions done by the PO that have been less then dependable (lightly twisted and taped wires leading to the r/r....)

Sorry if this is kind of a newbie question or if its covered in another thread, tried searching but like I said I'm still new to this.

I don't think that tape is stock, at least I've not run across it anywhere on my 650G.

Got a picture?

Unfortunately no pictures (out of town). But it was surrounding the junction that leads to both of the coils, it seems to match the wiring diagram, I just didn't know whether this was stock or something I should take a closer look at.
