    1981 GS550L Ignitor

    Hi everyone, I have an old 550L that has ignitor issues. I bought an ignitor on ebay a while back not realizing it was meant for a 550E.... It was way too late to return it when I finally got around to doing the work.

    So all of the wire colors match it's exactly the same size and it fits in the same hole perfectly. The only difference I can see (Part # sticker was too worn out to see on both parts) is that the connector on the end is different.

    So I clipped the connectors off and swapped them matching each wire color... The problem is that it pops a fuse immediately when I turn on the ignition... Is there any way that the 550E one that I bought could work on the 550L? Maybe even though the colors are the same on the connector I need to move them around because they don't go to the same places on the different models?

    If anyone has any insight or experience messing with this kind of stuff I would be super thankful. Thank you!

    That particular model bike ignitor is slightly different from the earlier bikes, but I'm not sure in what way. I suspect it will work if you can figure out the wire scheme. BTW, this has nothing to do with E vs. L, rather it's a change that occurred with the model year.

    Searched on 1981 GS550L ignitor and this came up as a cross reference.
