Hi am new to to this club.
I have a gl1200 1985 aspencade that I am trying to get back on the road.
Have come across a problem that has been discussed before so forgive me if I am on an old subject.
I have a ignition pulse generator that is bad.
Searched everywhere for a used set but no joy so far.
Has anyone got a good one to spare please.
If not has anyone done the gl1500 swop that can help me with what mods are needed and if I need two of them.
It also seems that the gl1500 ones are hard to source.
I live in south africa so there are not many used parts available. There are only 5 or 6 gl1200 in the country .
I would appreciate any guidance
Thank you

Welcome to the 'Wingdom.

I can’t help, but I bet someone will be along soon.

Welcome to the world of vintage GWs. You need two PG sensors for the '85 carb 1200. The 1500 PG sensor (need two) should work - careful that the wiring is correct. I mention this because the 1500 PG sensor works on the '85/'86 1200 GW FI Models, and so does the PG sensor harness from an '85 to '87 1200 carb model, have used these.
