83 GS1100e 1&4 cylinder not firing

[Motoguzzi1]

Any help is appreciated. The coils are good. What do I look at nexts? Thanks

What method have you used to verify coil function?

[rapidray]

If you switched the coils to eliminate a bad coil, it is the crank trigger/ignition plate. I have them if you need or Dyna Ss also if you want to upgrade.

Have you checked the plug caps?


Are 2&3 okay?


when you say cylinder not firing, do you mean spark plug not sparking .... or do you mean no combustion in the cylinder....?

I?ve switch coils.

[Motoguzzi1]

The spark plug has no spark. I switched the coils, and both are working.

[Motoguzzi1]

Yes, I?ve swapped coils, checked wires & caps. Still no spark on 1&4. I have no experience working on Suzuki. I just pulled the bike out of my neighbors garage. He bought it new and only has 34K on it. It?s been maintained by a dealer and is in fairly good shape. I rode it home on 2 cylinders ( just 2 Miles). I don?t want to spend a bunch of money on it. With that being said , I think I would rather replace with stock crank trigger ignition plate.

I assume this is a factory electronic ignition if so the trigger pulsar things have a coil resistance check. it should bein the manual

section 11-3 of the oem manual
BL-G WIRES 250 TO 360 Ohms.

Forgive me for my ignorance, but is this what Suzuki calls the signal generator assembly? I?m not wanting to upgrade. Just wanting to get it running well so I can turn it. What do you have to have for your trigger/ignition plate? Thanks
BTW sorry for the delayed response. I haven?t had much time to work on it. I do appreciate your help.

[Motoguzzi1]

How much would you have to have for your used pickups/pulsars? I would be interested. Thanks

[Cipher]

you sometimes see em cheap on ebay as part of a misc packae of parts
did the resistance test show a fault?
