GS850 not idling,backfiring,missing
Hi,I have a 1979 Gs850GN with 15,000 miles,it has suddenly started missing and backfiring and there is no power i have to keep the idling at 1800 to stop from stalling.The battery is charging at 12.7v at 3000+ rpm and the battery is holding 12.3v of charge,do you have any ideas what to look for,i noticed that 1 spark plug wire was leaking a bit when i touched it.Any help would be great,thanks,joeTags: None

My guess would be the coils are bad. Your voltage readings are low? I would check your voltage meter on another vehicle. Fully charged battery will read 12.6 v Running your bike should read 13.5-14 volts
