rrlascott 0 #1 Posted January 15, 2011 I have a GT 14 and though I don't have a lot of time lately to work on it, I've been trying to to get the timing to work. It's uses points. It only runs at low RPMs. I'm now looking to update it to solid state. As far as I know, this should mean a new stator and trigger module. The wiring should be no big deal either. Stator to rectifier to charge. Stator to trigger module to plug for spark. Anyone know where I can find these parts. I do hope the stator mounts properly. thanx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sorekiwi 761 #2 Posted January 15, 2011 Sorry, cant help you with a source for parts. Are you sure you really want to go to the solid state ignition? The points system is so simple, easy to troubleshoot, and if there is a problem it is cheap to replace the parts. The solid state ignition is a new can of worms (IMO). Of course I'm giving you this opinion from one whose a little electronically challenged. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fiscalyear 0 #3 Posted January 16, 2011 What year and model is your GT14? If I'm not mistaken, all GT14's are breakerless ignition. I have a 1970 model 1-7452 and it's breakerless. Eddie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boatman 3 #4 Posted January 16, 2011 :thumbs: Hi THERE, My gt-14 is a 1969 and it has breakerless ignition from factory already on it.`I have never had any trouble from any of my other wheelhorses. They have always started easy and run well. Don,t believe I would change from points to the breakerless ign. :banghead: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brrly1 1,146 #5 Posted January 16, 2011 I have to agree with Boatman, I have a couple of the breakerless ignitions on my GT14's which actually run fine. If that trigger burns out at a cost of well over $125 I will definitely being changing over to points. The triggers are quite expensive. Have you tried filing and cleaning the points (condenser) if not replacing them. I am sure there must be some reason it runs like it does. I am sure it can be straighten out.

Cody 269 #6 Posted January 16, 2011 It sounds to me like the condenser may be on the wrong side of the coil, make sure that the condenser is on the negative side along with the points, and the power wire is on the positive side. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
