    inigion problem with 1979 gs1000E

    I have a 1979 gs1000E that i am have an ignition problem with on the 2-4 cylinders. The bike has 12000 miles on it. I put new valve seals in it and after trying to start it again found that the 2-4 cyls were not getting spark. I switched that coil to the 1-3 side and it produced spark to the plugs. I am thinking points or condenser. I do have power to the 2-4 coil but not producing a spark anyone have ideas as what to look for next. The points do look just as good as the ones for the 1-3 cylinders.

    First of all, 1 and 4 are on one coil, 2 and 3 are on the other. If the points are good and the coil is good there's not a whole lot left in there. How is the power to the + side of the coil? (orange and white wires)

    If it is not close to 12 volts, try a hotwire to test it out and if it helps think about doing the relay mod.

      When sitting on the bike, the left coil should have its spark plug wires connected to the #1 and #4 cylinders. The coil on the right side should have its spark plug wires connected to the #2 and #3 cylinders.

        Maybe a bad connection between the coil and spark plug cap?
