Re: Not only my first etc etc! [TRYING TO GET HER RUNNING, HELP!!!]
I know the dynas are a quality product, but Im pretty sure that Ill get a much stronger (compared to stock) spark from xs650 coils, so while its not top of the line, it is an upgrade. Also I am running two 6v batteries linked in series to get them to 12v, I think they are meant for backup emergency lighting power, not for motorcycles, so I am a lil bit worried that they are my weak point. I just bought a trickle charger though, and Im going to make sure they are fully charged, and give it another go.
Rocan said:if your getting spark and fuel, and compression is fine, yet she still wont start, coils are the problem. reason is the coils dont put out the same voltage they used to and because of this they have spark out of the motor, but when they are in the motor the compression causes the coils to not deliver enough volts to have the sparks jump the gap. closing the gap on the spark plugs will tell you if this is the problem; if the bike starts then, then its definitely bad coils.
you can use most any coils... the dynas are worth the money from what i hear.
