Oh it's the plug caps, I've changed them all out. I'll do that test though see if I get spark from the lead itself

IF the end of the wire arcs to the engine then that means the problem is either in te cap itself or the spark plug is defective. Others will also tell you they see a spark off the plug but install it and it wont fire. Replace with a new plug and the issue is solved.MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)

NEVER SNEAK UP ON A SLEEPING DOG..NOT EVEN YOUR OWN.
I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

Unfortunately the issue is occurring before the leads, swapped the leads to see if the spark would move and it didnt, I think it's mostly figured out though, somewhere in the ignitor or the negative wire leading to it. I would have never figured it out, had a guy help me out a bunch. Once I'm back home I'm gonna be using a test light to see if the wires are still live that connect to the ignitor, ifnot it very well might be the ignitor. He checked for continuity everywhere he could think (coilpacks, ignition system on right side of engine, wires connecting coilpacks) the one thing he wasnt able to get to was the ignitor which he calls the brain, and he said dont buy one because if its a wire that's bad I'm gonna spend $100 instead of $1.Originally posted by chuck hahn View PostIF the end of the wire arcs to the engine then that means the problem is either in te cap itself or the spark plug is defective.

I'll definitely keep updates as to what happens.
Gonna have to check the R/R aswell because my battery itself had a short circuit, had 11.5 volts but could still spin the engine.Ian
