    2-3 coil or pickup?

    2-3 coil no spark

    '82 GS550L

    Stock coils

    Stock pickup

    5 ohm primary on both

    25 ohm secondary on both

    12 v to both coils

    65 ohms on the pickup green and blue wires

    There should be 250-360 ohms there according to bikecliff

    Could that cause one coil not to fire? Or do I have a bad coil?

    try switching coil spark plug wires and see if 2-3 fire.

      What I did was switch the coil signal wires from the good coil to the "bad" coil, and the bad coil fired.

      So bad pickup?

        More likely, a bad ignitor: 550's seem to have poor units. The 82 stlll has mechanical advancer, so a Dyna ignition might be in your future.. For ND setup, this one...

          Put the Dyna DS3-2 on from Z1, got spark on all 4!

          Come to find out I'm not getting any gas in number 2 carb, all others are fine.

          Any ideas?

            Clean those carbs as per the ever popular on bassclif's site. Sounds like stuck floats or severely gunked up carbs. Have you done a thorough strip and dip on them yet?
