'75 CB550K losing power under load after a few seconds

Crap, that's disappointing.

No kidding. Disorienting too.

Before I changed the Hunley to Dyna ignition (because I had one), I was prepared to try a pair of automotive condensers designed for a BMW. They have the bullet connectors and everything. The dual units for GL1000s are getting worse and worse in quality.

I was kinda blown away by how much better everything worked with the electronic ignition. A little bummed that I don't get the rolloff pop and crackle anymore, that noise made my hair stand on end. Like, in a good way.

Now I just have to chase down a low oil pressure situation (easy) and figure out why it idles perfectly fine but sometimes stalls when I pull the clutch in to coast from highway speed once it's hot (maybe not so easy)
