On the front of my Guzzi's engine sits a (mildly corroded) Saprisa alternator. Unfortunately as I found out when getting the Guzzi road legal, under the tank sits a well broken points ignition, which didn't hesitate to slowly fry one of the new coils in the course of about 80km.
Admittedly the kit comes with a bunch of really good instructions and whilst I am admittedly not fully a fan of the plug that goes into the new ignition box, I have to admit, so far (like almost 5 months later), it works ok.
Wired up the box and then finally removed the original distributor.
Old girl fired right up and did her thing. With the fried coil, unfortunately, it would only do this for a rather limited period of time. So a set of GPZ500 coils came to the rescue.
In order to install them, I quickly fabricated a nice and compact coil holder.
... and now with this unholy union, the old girl does what she is supposed to do: Fire up on the button and an idle when hot, that is simply unbelievable.
