    Stator and wiring burn out ? - GS 550et 1980

    Good old M&P have agreed to send another stator. It seems as informed it was changed from one to the other about the time of my bike..... M&P deserve to be back in the good books. I can feel the burning desire to do a bike tour over the channel and up to near Amsterdam again now. Do you guys...

    New Coils, no spark at 1 and 4. Narrowed down to CDI (maybe?)

    Hell you are close now !! What a result with the ignition ! - so zero petrol getting to the plugs , they are not soaked in petrol as they should have been with all that churning ?

    Stator and wiring burn out ? - GS 550et 1980

    Ok this is looking good then !!!! Indeed this is now likely to be the reason ......as all adds up with wemoto selling an 18 pole for my bike and m&p probably having this one and another. It's easily done as I had no idea how many poles my one had as only swapped it when new one arrived. I...
