Igniter GS1000E

[Mitch]

I have no spark in the right coil at all. I put a new coil on and still no spark. Left coil is fine. Is there an Igniter on this bike and where is it ???

79 still points and condensor i think on the 1000? If so, id look into the points and condensor, no ignitor on that bike. Obviously not the coil if replacing it didnt work. Might also check the plug cap? But I would bet your P&C is shot or mis-gapped/adjusted.

I just put two new condencers on the bike, I checked the points , have spark at one, not the other. Driving me crazy....

Stick a piece of paper between the non working point contacts, turn the ignition on and measure the voltage from where the condenser attaches, to a good ground spot and let us know the voltage reading.

did you lightly run a file across the point contacts?
is that set of points properly gapped?

Thanks all. I was just out working on my baby, my bad I had the wire for the condenser on wrong and grounded to the point plate... I now have spark at all four plugs... Now on to rebuilding my carbs. Thanks for all the help, god bless and have a great day...
