1983 gs 750 es dynatech ignition.

[Guest]

I have a 1983 gs 750 es with cdi problems. Will the dynatech ignition work on my bike to eliminate the cdi? I have a hard time justifying the cost for a new cdi from the dealer.

No, the dyna needs the mechanical ignition advancer- your 83 doesn't have it. Maybe the advancer setup from the 82 or earlier could fit on your bike and then the dyna would work for you. Buying used ignitors is risky- new ones are ridiculous .

To save you alot of reading, this was on 27, the last page

I used the diagram straight off the first page of this topic. I found two 4-prong DR100-matched aftermarket modules for $22 on ebay (used), two new aftermarket C849 coils for $26, a set of spark plug wires at Autozone for $17, and about $15 worth of connectors, heat sink compound from Radio Shack, etc.

I did not use the starter circuit with the resistors and diodes for a couple of reasons. This bike has always started well, and I wanted to see if the spark plug gap I used would be a factor in cold starts first. So far no problem at all starting.

Wow, the O.P. only stayed on here for about an hour (long enough to read only the first reply) and hasn't been back since. No pm of course, he has no idea what he missed. If he comes back the offer still stands.

No PM ? At least to thank you for your very generous offer? Strange world. Hopefully he wasn't just embarrased ! But maybe he's the ambitious type and wants to cobble something together.
