    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

1978 GS750 Engine in with new rings, timing chain, seals , rebuilt carbs etc.

Questions...

1. Oil leak - UPDATED There is a little oil leaking onto the OIL PRESSURE SWITCH below the cam tensioner but that is dry. It only gets wet when I run the engine SO I NEED TO SOURCE AND SEE WHAT IS INVOLVED IN CHANGING IT especially.since the connector is missing.

2. Expecting the manual to connect Dyna-S coils to (converted Dyna-S) e-ignition, for those used DynaS coils as I am not 100% sure how to hook them up. I wrote the company but they never responded. I googled and found nothing.

3. Carb sync - I cleaned and oiled the k & n pods and will install for final sync but it seems pretty close. Thoughts? Tank is off now so will install the pods and balance today.
​​​​​​ 4. The green neutral light came on once then never again so am tracing on wiring diagram but hints welcome!

Thanks!

That "plastic headed bolt" is the oil pressure switch. It looks damaged, since there should be a part of the brass stem sticking up.

Coils don't have polarity. As long as they are hooked up and firing, you are good.

Yes, sync with the pods. Hopefully you have proper pods, not the china cheepies, because those don't take oil and can't be cleaned.

Thanks. That's it oil pressure switch!... it turns out it was just loose. I removed, cleaned, reinstalled it and ran the bike. Leak seems to have stopped.

As for the connector, it is just missing. It was there when I pulled the engine. It must have broken off sometime during the rebuild. I'll source another one. Thank you!

They are k&n, cleaned last night, oiled them just now, to install, test, sync after they dry in 20 minutes... Then I'll look at those coils again... Scary that because it starts up in one turn with the old coils now...

Check whether your electrics are Nippon Denso or Kokusan Denki, you need the DS3-1 for ND or DS3-2 for KD.
Here's the installation instructions.

Thank you! Not sure. I will read up on it before heading back out on this perfect, rainy, garage day. I had converted from points and condenser to a Dyna-S electronic ignition years back. It's a1978 GS750, version "E" as far as I can tell..

Thanks again. That is the manual for the ignition that I installed some years back not the coils but the coil swap from stock to Dyna-S was what I was trying to read up on however it might be more straight forward than I thought. Cheers.
