      How is the compression?

      Are you getting a big fat spark to all plugs?

        Was it running on all 4 before you replaced the stock ignition with the Dyna? If so, how long ago was that?

        Asked, but not answered - plugs wet on 3 & 4?

        Did you bench sync the carbs before putting them back on? Lightly seat and then back out the idle screws ~3 turns?

        The most likely culprits are the idle or pilot circuits on carbs 3 and 4...

          Ignition was replaced due to bad CDI

          bike will now rev up kinda but still runs like crap and still depends on choke
