Hi all, just joined the forum,anyway my GT550 is giving me problems as it is only firing on 2 cylinders,L AND R, Centre does not spark at all,points are set and ignition timing is set also,i think i know the problem but how to cure it i may need your help,i have a light attached to points 1 and 3 and when they are about to open the light goes out when i have the centre one connected up to the lamp and as the points open the light stays on,actually id doesnt go out in a full 360 degree turn of the crank,basically i have current all the time to the centre cylinder points and it doesnt get intrupted.why is the power broke in 1 and 3 and it isn't in the centre cylinder points.Hope some electric minded person can see the issue. Thanks.

It sounds like a short circuit. Are there wires connected to the points touching anywhere they shouldn't be?

THANKS,yeah i have checked this.maybe i need to check them where they go back through the casing and up to the connections for the coils.
