Won’t rev!

[Rottweiler]

Did you check spark at both plugs? I have seen bad coils do weird stuff. I believe my older HD has that Altima unit works well.

 

[Mr. Wright]

That bike came out with a duel fire coil. Lets see the coil that is in it now.

Looks to me like it is set up for....VOES Retard-On, Curve3, 6500rpm and Dual Fire, if I am reading it correctly?

Not a clue how the hell you can see that, I can't tell!

Thats why they call me "Eagle Eye"...lol

 

[Mr. Wright]

That's not what i'm seeing, that's why I need a clearer picture of the settings and and a picture of the coil, unless you know the difference between a duel and single fire coil

 

[41bigdawg]

That was just a best guess based on what I could see...by no means was I stating it as fact...sorry if I caused any confusion.

 

[woodbutcher]

while you have out the wd40, spray some at the jug end of the intake and see if it dies on you. thinking maybe a big air leak in the gasket. don't hold me to that.

 

[rapsman]

Sorry for the delay, ok, good spark from the coil, spraying wd40 into the inlet made no difference to the situation so I’m including hopefully a better picture of the ignition unit and a picture of the coil, thanks everyone!.

 

[rapsman]

Just to clarify the matter in case my pics are still crap,
Sw1 = down position
Sw2 = up. “
Sw3 = down. “
Sw4 = up. “
Sw5 = down. “
Sw6 = up. “

 

[Mr. Wright]

I meant the other side of the coil, but just look. Your switches are right if you have 3 small wires going to the coil. If there is only two, flip#6 switch down.

 

[Mr. Wright]

Just went back and read through this again. It is possible something is plugged up in the carb, but I'm still thinking that ignition mod. Mark where it is at, and take the two screws out, and lets see if anything is loose back there. Just in case you don't have the directions for that unit, here it is.

Reset the timing, and lets go from there.

 

[rapsman]

Haha!, trust me to get it wrong, three wires as per this photo

 

[rapsman]

I had the module out previously, all looks good in there, will redo static timing and try again, thanks

 

[rapsman]

Ok, re done the static timing, no difference!?, just to be sure is there an easy way of confirming your on the compression strike on these engines or should I whip the front rocker cover off?

 

[Mr. Wright]

If you were a 180 out, it wouldn't start. What I'm doing is trying to check all the things that won't cost you any money, before I tell you that module is bad. Next I want to check the coil. There are a lot of differant links to sites that show how to do this. I just picked one. If it not easy to understand, just look up another.

Do me a favor and set switch 6 down to off. For a dual fire. Never mind. Do not do this.

 

[Rottweiler]

Sorry DO NOT Set switch 6 off.
I just looked at the PDF. Again it is wired for a single fire.
Looks like it might be time to Change parts out? Do you have other bike you can move the coil to?
If so try that if other bike runs good then buy ignition.

 

[Rottweiler]

I did get the switches right. Earlier post I sent you a link for the ignition.

you have the timing retarded way too much. loosen the stand off screws and turn the unit bout a quarter inch clock wise and try it.. Im sure it does flip over easy when you start the engine with it retarded like that, it will also give you that flat off idle no rev.
