    Ignition Coils for GS425

    In my experience with coils, I prefer the 4.3 ohm coils for electronic ignition due to the sub-par charging systems on the earlier models of GS engines. I ran into a low voltage issue after installing the new ignition and tried everything. In my case, I run the Katana style coils.

    Electrical problems

    From what I've seen with the modern instrument clusters - not all wires need to be connected. However, connecting them right is a PITA. If you can upload the wiring diagram for your unit I might be able to help.

    Plug cables suggestion

    On Ebay there is a guy called The Ton. He sells it by the bulk and I've purchased from him several times. Does he have what you need? Worth checking. I know he sells the old magneto wire so he should be able to help. If you're thinking you can buy a set, I'm not sure if anything is available.

    1982 850GZ tuning issue

    Also make sure your rubber plug covering the pilot jet tube is there and not by-passing. Make sure you tune CV carbs from full throttle down to idle, not backwards. Main jet needs to be correct first. Factory Pro has a good tutorial talking just about this.
