Check the feed wires to the coils. One may be disconnected. Have you gapped the points? Filed them to have clean surfaces?
There should be very little sparking at the points - that will destroy them fast. If you are getting a big spark there your condenser is shot or not well connected.[url=https://www.classicgoldwings.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=202297#p202297:3dunb2p3 said:flash2002 » Wed Apr 25, 2018 8:00 am[/url]":3dunb2p3]
When I restored a GL1000, I installed electronic ignition and also installed coils from a sport bike that I got from a scrap yard. Didn't have to do any mods and it ran without problems. If I remember I think the difference in the coils, is the OHMS .
Or your coils are drawing too much current! :doh:[url=https://classicgoldwings.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=202573#p202573:2mh4f9n2 said:pidjones » Mon May 07, 2018 11:20 am[/url]":2mh4f9n2]
