    No spark on gs550

    Bought a gs550 cheap it is a 1985 and the engine turns over with the starter. But no spark. I don't have a starter solenoid but I've been testing it turning over by shorting starter. I believe it is the ignitor unit that is keeping it from sparking. I would like to find out the problem before I start spending money. As this bike has no title and other things wrong with it. Any way to make your own ignitor I saw they were very expensive online.?

    A tiny bit of info in this old thread.


    Have you tested the coils yet?
