Mounted both my dyna coils. No problems. I had to cut the straight connectors off at the spark plug end. I put in the OEM plug caps and when i started her she was only running the front cylinder. So i tried to continuity on my MM and there was none. I reinstalled the plug ends making sure they were firmly in and still not spark at the plug in both rear cylinders. I don't think it is the coil as i checked that out and it is doing what i calculated it would do. So, the bike i was to deliver last week is still not working. I am now paying a penalty for being late on the build. I have emailed Tim and i hope he can help of maybe even send out new, tested cables with the right angle ends. Any ideas

I OHMed the plug wires after I assembled them & they checked fine. I asked what ends you needed & you told me straight & that's what I used.

Tim,

You did as i asked and it was my mistake. The toner doesn't work n these cables so once i got the coil connection right, I was set. The bike runs great now. Thanks for your timely support. It truly is an upgrade i would recommend and if asked, i would point the in your direction.

Cheers
