Finally got  my Savage running about 3 weeks ago. Still sorting the jetting, but getting there. Now I have lost the spark. Coil and plug are tested and good. Open circuit on the pick up coil, so either dis wire or new coil needed. However, did the test on the igniter unit using an ohm meter, as per the Suzuki service manual, all good except the reading between + on terminal 5 and - on terminal 1. According to the book it should read 20 ohms using a Suzuki tester, but mine shows no connection. Before I get a new unit, can anyone confirm this reading using a standard ohm meter?

Also, can the pick up coil be purchased separately, as the parts list has it down as part of the generator, which is £400.00 ish.!!!!!

I've found a full stator assembly on Ebay for £70.00. My bike is a '87 model with the common igniter. I'm having the generator off anyway, but was just curious about the igniter circuit. If it needs replacing, so be it. It's a real easy job, just a bit pricey. :'(

To save money and time... First pull the side cover off so you can get a visual of the p/u coil and wires. Ohm out the coil right where it's mounted. Use a sewing needle to pierce the wires and touch your ohm meter to it. If no reading the coil is open. If you get a reading then ohm out the wiring from the coil to the connector under the seat. You will have to visually follow the wires to see which connector it is. Also make sure the belt didn't rub clean through the wiring harness when it exits the stator cover. It happened on mine and drove me crazy.
