Hello-

I have a 1976 flh with Crane HI-4 Single fire ignition and DynaS coil. The bike just quits on me then I can start it up after justa minute , ride for a minute same thing. It acts just like I hit the kill switch. I've tested the switch and inspected for insulation worn through. No problems. I want to test the ignition system, but all I have is the procedure for points ignition. If anyone has the test procedure, HELP!

Chrome side up!

intrigued as to why you would not be running the matching Crane coil...

not saying it's wrong....but i am not sure it is right either!

has the bike run successfully with this combo????

here is how to test the single-fire module: base on my own hard-won experience!

Thanks for the help. FYI as long as the system is made for a 3 ohm single fire coil it doesn't matter what brand you use. It has worked fine. The Crane coil took a crap about three years ago, 6 months after the ignition was installed. The Dyna Tech was all that the shop had in stock. I will carry around a test light with me and when it does it again I will hook it up, I will also test the coil resistance to see if it gets added resistance when it's hot. I'll keep you in the loop.
