    '77 gs550 no spark

    Hey all just need a bit of advice.
    i was out riding last sunday when my gs went down on to
    2 cylinders then the other 2 cut out
    the bike had overcharged and blown out the coils i think because
    there was alot off black gungy stuff around small cracks in the coils and there was no spark. i have replaced and regapped the points and condensors,changed the regulator rectifier and put s/h coils on it but i still have no spark ive checked the kill switch and thats all ok
    im a bit confused so any help would be much appreciated

    Check the spark plugs are good. Try new ones. Check spark from end of HT lead to cylinder head. Check connections to coil. Remove points cover. Turn ignition on and separate the points with screwdriver tip. There should be a small spark at the points. Check these and get back to us.

            Hi Bill. I think it's second hand , as in used. They could be faulty as well.
