    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.

Hi All,

Working on getting a 1978 GS750 back healthy after a break. I've done all the carb work, and have been focusing on ignition issues now. I was getting very weak spark, and just did the coil relay mod - much hotter spark.

I have a Dyna S and the green coils.

The bike is getting close - I'm still trying to find the source of the intermittent ignition issues -it's like a switch goes off and on and I lose cylinders.

I'm using the non-suppressor dyna spark plug wires with NGK 5k caps. I get some really good shocks when I touch the caps. Is this normal??

I tried cleaning the kill switch, but this seems difficult. Does the kill switch just connect the 2 orange wires? :confused: I might try to bypass it but this seems unrelated.

I'm going to go thru the Dyna troubleshooting steps this weekend, but it really feels like a loose connection. However, the connections from the relay look good, and I double-checked the connections between the coil and the Dyna. These are all old connectors, but I tried to get them as clean as I could.

Thanks so much for all the valuable information. Lots of good reading!

- Mark
