    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

82 gs550L. It was running fine all day. I turned it off for about a half hour while I was working on the petcock. put it all back together. It cranks over real fast, fully charged battery, Its getting fuel. But no spark. Fuses are fine, and Im getting power to the coils. I tried other spark plugs, nothing. What could of happened all of a sudden?
 
First guess is ignitor or a wiring problem. Check grounds as the first step, and electrical connectors. My old 450 used to do that and I found that disconnecting the plug on the ingitor and putting it back brought the bike back to life.
 
Well All of a sudden it started back up. One of the spark plugs fouled out, so I replaced it with an old one. The trike runs mint now.
 
Careful. I had an ignitor do the same thing. It'd work fine for a few hours, then cut out on me leaving me stranded. Then it'd magically fix itself.
