Should I set it on fire?

[tone]

Hi groundshock
I agree with what some of the others have said about the ignition unit needing to be thrown over the nearest hedge but theres one other thing that comes to mind ..... in your previous posts you mention the valves have been set recently i think you need to check out that the valve timing is correct Eg the cams are pointing in the correct direction when the bottom timing mark is in line & that there are the correct number of pins on the camchain between the sprockets

hope it helps

You WILL need either a balast resistor or 3ohm coils, IMO, some guys say you can run it on stockers, but ive heard it will burn the coils out since they are 5ohm.

I run stock coils with the dyna s and have had no problems at all. Dynatek even sells 5 ohm coils for use with the dyna s, although most people prefer the greenies.

EDIT
Here, got this off the dyna FAQ

Q. Why does Dynatek recommend 5 ohm coils for street use and 3 ohm coils for racing?

A. The resistance of the coil determines how much current flows through the ignition system. The 3 ohm coils, because of their lower resistance, pass more current and therefore run warmer than the 5 ohm coils. If the coils are located where they receive good airflow and are away from engine or exhaust heat, then 3 ohm coils will generally give reliable service on the street. However, when the coils are located under the tank, between the cylinders, or close to the engine with a tight fitting cover, 3 ohm coils may overheat. This is most likely to occur under ³worst case conditions², such as creeping along in traffic on a hot day in Arizona (this isnıt so great for an air cooled engine either!). Rather than get into the specifics of every application we make the general recommendation - 5 ohm for street, 3 ohm for race.

From his last post date in this thread, and his sig saying the GS1000 is sold, I suspect this is a dead issue.

Feel free to chime in if I'm wrong, Groundshock. I could take some photos under the right side cover of my '79 if anyone is still interested.
