gsxr gk76a help
hi ive bought this gk76a 1992 since i am now old enough to do my a2 and it really doesnt wanna start to the point im using all the battery
ive also got no spark
ive got a idea of what to check,
the battery is new
i dont think its the carbs since the plugs are getting wet
since im getting no spark would it have something to do with the cdi? or pick up coil?
if so what do i check on those (resistances,or if stuff is working)
it also has one of those m max boxes would that be the issue?
would buying a new cdi help as i have seen a daytona cdi progressor Derestrict Limiter
how would i find out if mine is a sp or sp II as its confusing
many thanks :)

Re: gsxr gk76a help
Sorry to hear its giving you grief.
How old is the battery? Is it getting at least 12.4-12.6 volts? Might be worth using a car jump pack on it if you have to keep cranking it.
When you say there is no spark, are you taking a plug out connecting it to the plug lead and then earthing it on something?
How old is the fuel? If it smells like your mums nail varnish remover then the bike might not be happy about running on it.
Check the wiring to the coils. Probably some little spade connectors. Make sure they are tight.
Pretty sure the M-Max boxes just deal with the speed restrictions so I dont think theres anything to find there.
Check and clean any earths the bike has - eg look for any wires bolted to the frame.
Buying a new TCI/CDI might help but do all the free stuff first. I have never had an ignition box fail that I didnt water damage first! if all else fails and people like https://www.ignitech.cz/en/vyrobky/tci/tci.htm might be to help you out if Ebay doesnt.
Good hunting.
