I just took out the dyna coils. One is bad, reading 32.9k ohms while the other reads 14.5k ohms. I installed a set of 1100 coils from my parts bike. Fired it up and it ran beautiful! Took it for a ride and got about 2 blocks when I lost fire to 1 and 3. In testing, I found out I could switch the leads from the dyna and move the problem from one coil to the other. I really can't afford to buy another dyna ignition right now. I thought I'd read on here that someone had a fix for the old units with the external module. If so, I could sure use that fix right now. One thing I did that I shouldn't have is I didn't hook up the ballast resister to the coils. I know that's not a good thing, but, man, it sure was running nice!
Forgot to mention, this is on the 76 GL1000.
Just found out the parts 77 has a Martek ignition system. I may try to make it work.
