Dyna ignition problems?

[Anonymous]

I bought a used dyna DS3-2 ignition from E-bay & now my bike runs like crap!I know i've got it hooked up correctly according to Dyna.After it warms up it begins to backfire@idle & starts knocking(not pinging).I set timing on cyl.1&4 -still runs bad.Next I checked timing on cyl.2&3-it appears to be firing anytime it pleases.When you do see the timing mark(which isn't often)it's not even clear(fuzzy) & no amount of adjusting will get it to line up!My theory is pickup coil for cyl.2&3 is bad,but I would think if thats the case I wouldn't have any spark @#2&3.If I am correct about #2&3 firing anytime it pleases that would explain why I hear the knocking,it's advanced so far it's trying to turn the engine backwards-not at all good for my engine!Next I put the stock ignition back on & it runs fine!Have any of you ever had this problem & if so what was the problem.Thanks!

Sometimes with these electronic ignitions you need to run different coils. I'm not sure about what the resistance is supposed to be, but perhaps someone else does.

I would contact Dyna tech 1-626-963-1669 Or send them & email

Re: Dyna ignition problems?

It sounds like your timing proceedure is incorrect. Would you list the steps you took in setting the timing.
