    Trying to find ignitor please identify photo

    I have a 79 GS850G that seems to have a weak spark. I want to test all my components including the ignitor. Reading my manual it should be behind the left side cover but as far as I can tell it's not there. Can someone look at the photo and identify it for me please. In the photo I see a flasher unit on the lower right, fuses in the middle, the top right box has a fuse in it and I'm not sure what the top left component is. I know the regulator/rectifier is under the batter and can be seen in the photo. Some assistance would be great.

    Not sure, but ignitor is probably mounted to the battery box for shock isolation; look on the right side.

    Also if weak spark check the voltages to your coils or just do a coil relay mod . Basscliff has seveal variation described for different contributors.

      Your bike doesn't have an ignitor. What kind of manual you using?

          I've got the original 79 manual and a newer Hayes, thats for multiple years, one (or something like a Hyes). I was wondering if that was the case. I'll have to do a little more research about the electrical then.

            interesting, i have the '79 but someone installed an electronic ignition b/c i do not have points and my igniter is mounted on the battery box to the left of my 5 fuse-fuse box. M understanding is if you have points then you don't have an igniter. What is the black box next to your 4 fuse-fuse box?

              The black box is a simple flasher unit. To do with the singnals I believe. Of course my auto canceler bit the dust so I just did a simple bypass with a $5 flasher unit (not the one in the picture).
