Hello,
I created a post not long ago after my bike was acting strangely.
My mechanic has worked on it and says that my ignition system is the cause. He said it's sparking all over the place. It has been previously converted.
I've shown the photos to a local Yamaha dealer but they say that they don't recognize it.
They suggested the option of going for an original, but I'm less keen.
I came across this site, and it looks an awful lot like the one I have.

Here's the previous thread with a video of what it was doing when using the throttle:

Does anyone recognize this unit?
I haven't had to deal with this issue before so I really don't know what my options are.
Keep trying to find out what this unit and find a replacement, or roll back to a mechanical one?
What about replacing this with another electrical one, what's involved in doing that vs rolling back?
There's these, but it says 1970-84:
