Weak spark

Google uses a popularity algorithm, you seldom get an accurate answer anymore unless you use proper search techniques. Suzuki used an ignighter for these bikes, it might come in a box that looks like a CDI box but it is not the same. The O/W wire from the signal generator that interrupts power to your coil to create the spark, goes to the G/W wire into the ignightor and comes out of the ignightor on the white wire to your coil. https://photos.google.com/share/AF1Q...VBaDVLelNETE5B

The diagram I looked up shows your signal generator where the points are on earlier models and a mechanical advance mechanism. Your choice would be the Dyna-S, It is about $160.00 at Z1 Enterprises and everything would fit where your signal generator is and works with your mechanical advance. You could buy that and the Dyna green coils and new plug wires a lot cheaper than a new ignightor or a signal generator, or use it with your present coils. Bike Bandit lists your ignightor for $595.00 and the signal generator for $328.95. Their prices are usually a little high but replacing either part is still going to be a lot higher than the Dyna-S.

I took a video to show what's happening. Hopefully it helps better illustrate the issue, as I'm not very good at explaining things.

Have you looked at your signal generator ?

 

[Guest]

Yes. It doesn't look burned, correded, or damaged in any way. I don't know how to test it, though.

 

[Guest]

What position is it in? If it is lined up with a trigger, it could explain why you are not getting a light on that wire. That would be like an opened point.

 

[Guest]

Could you specify what a trigger is, and what position it has to be in? The service manual I have only mentions points and condensors, it doesn't say anything about adjusting a signal generator.

Here's a picture of the signal generator.

How do I test the timing on the signal generator. I watched a video of a guy do it with Dyna coils and a wire. I have a wire, but only bog-standard coils. Where would I affix the wire on the coils?

 

[Guest]

I'm getting 10.84 volts through the kill switch.

Does power flow through the orange/white wire, into the coil, and out through the white wire to the igniter box?

EDIT: Never mind, the left coil is good.
