    1978 gs 1000 My new bike just continues to have ignition issues

    Dyna s ignition dyna coils intermittent power loss checked all systems and grounds now it won't idle and it is backfiring. Just want to make sure I did not mix any thing up left coil (sitting on the bike) goes to 1 and 4 cylinders right coil goes to 2 and 3 cylinders? Pretty bummed out I went through a lot of hurdles to get this very cool machine and have not been able to enjoy it😕

    Coil to plug orientation is correct.
    In this old thread they talk about correcting the timing and resistor plug caps.
    Just a couple other things to consider.
