This is a great video. I have not touched my gs550 close to 6 years because I believed my igniter was dead. The resistance check given in the manual showed showed it as failing. Then I did some troubleshooting poking and prodding with my voltmeter but never to this depth. So I did what Johnny Fix (maker of the vid) did and found similar results with the same comparator. I also had jumpy voltages on one side of the comparator as well as incorrect output on the same side. I was also able to check the 4 ic chips under the light colored module with out removing the module. I did this by removing the unit from the metal box and use the solder points on the bottom of unit. Hopefully sometime in the near future I will have time to repair this and try to get this gs back up and running.

I also found this the other day https://www.carmo.nl/index.php?main_...50&language=sp
Has anyone tried or heard of this product. This is the 1st time I have seen an aftermarket igniter for this model. I can't tell if that is spanish or italian but looks to be using the euro.
I did not find anything when searching the site.

What year is your 550?

[gerb73]

Tom203 it is an 83 e/es.

that euro box is pricy at over 500 canadian.
I wonder ho they achieve acceleration correction.

No doubt it is pricey. If i understand right, i dont pay the vat price since i am in us. That would make price 316 us plus 29 shipping. It definetly makes me wonder though and will be in the back of my mind as an option.
