no it can all be done right at the ignition on the side of the head

You'll need the ballast resistor.

i think it is still on the bike,but i'm not sure.if not i'll see if one will come with the other parts,i'm getting.thats one of those little red sqaire plug ins isn't it?

 

[slabghost]

Not sure what you are referring to. Resistors will get very hot.

the risistor is a large white ceramic piece that is attached to the coil frame.

ok.now i know what it is. i'll have to check and see. no garage and the weather is wanting me to do much.and the boy just lost a belt on our pathfinder so and blew the radiator oioe so i got to try and get it back up and running. but thanks .

 

[cyborg]

i've got it all when your ready.

 

[mwbill37841]

checking also do you have another ele.out fit for it?
or cdi? and someone said i would need a resister :headscratch: ?

i do have a risistor, the points plate, with points, condenser,advance unit. which is all you really need to go back to points. i do have a martex electronic ign system, but if you want to stay with the electronic, which in my opinion is the way to go,you should contact dayna and tell them what is going on. the tech department is very helpfull, and they can probably replace the bad part for less money and work then switching back.

the dyna S and coils can be had new ...they have a kit wires and all for your bike 1000s equiped with dynas complete system is the best ignition out there for oldwings period ...mother honda has abanden the oldwings in the parts dept.

i'll have to check and see,but it may be good to have a backup. i bypassed it today and i got a spank. but my batt. was real low. so i fell a little better.

 

[slabghost]

If you do go back to points I suggest you use the original coil feed wire to operate a relay and run a new wire through that relay directly from the battery side of the starter relay. This will assure you get full battery voltage to your ignition giving you the best spark possible through the old ignition set up.
