Posted April 25, 200717 yr I have a 1979 1100 XS My problem is (No Spark). I replaced with new the following parts so far and still No spark. Ignition Key Switch Coils. Complete wiring Harness. Been thinking about replacing the ignition unit (Black Box )thats located under the seat mounted on the frame. But,was told that the ignition unit hardly ever goes bad.Was told that the cycle shop can sell me one .The cycle shop said (but why should I sell you something you don't need). I'm getting power to the coils. I only get spark at the end of the last stroke everytime I crank it over.Sparks once. If I hold one of the spark plugs while touching metal on the bike I get spark. Seems to me,It sounds like a groung problem. I'm begging for some feed back?
