dyna 3ohm coils

Will the green 3 ohm coils work on a stock 79 1000 e? I am looking for a cheep option to make sure my bike is running coreectly before I start pumping money into it. They carbs are not adjusted correctly or synked up so I am stuck till she is back up and breathing fire again. Any and all is is appreciated. Take care.
 
The green coils are for electronic ignition systems. Since your bike has points, or did when new, the black coils are preferred. If you want to hedge against future upgrades you can get the green coils and run a 2 ohm ballast resistor in line, that way you can upgrade to a Dyna S ignition at a later date and you can keep the coils after you ditch the extra resistor.
 
How much are ther resistors and what is a fair price for a used set of green coils? I think I may be able to ppick up a set for around 60 to my door.
 
1 and 4 are firing fine. 2 and 3 arent fireing. When i remove the points cover the points that go to 2 and 3 were sparking pretty big at the contact patch. Could it be the points condensor gone bad?
 
First you'll need to measure the resistance of the 2-3 coil, on the primary and secondary sides before you pass judgement on the coil.
if your 2-3 points are sparking badly, it would make me believe the condenser has gone south...

find the problem, fix it, but don't throw money at it.
 
sounds like a good plan to me. I am building my "dream home" and dont have much extra cash so i am off to find a condensor. Keep the helpfull tips coming my way so I can get this beast on the road for the spring.

:dancing: :)
