Default Runs 10 seconds then stops

I posted a thread about 2 weeks a go and had this problem,i changed my electronic ignition modual and this fixed the problem. I had a dynatek DS6-1 DYNA S HD 70 & later dual fire, i used this for 2000 km one year.
My question is ,is this a good unit or are there better ones.I am thinking of going back to the points system,which i can clean and ajust.I know i will have to change the coil if i do this change.Any info is welcome and thanks to you all for the info i recieve.

what we used fo many years before electronic ignition become the norm was the dyna magnetic pickup unit that uses the advancer in the cover and a 5 Ohm coil < has to be 5 Ohms or they burn out quickly < put it in and its done but no control like you want today with the gas we have

ultma ign is what i use in my shop it is adjustable for different compressions and can be used with a Voes and duel fire or single fire 3 Ohm coils < ultma coils are garbage throw it away with the box it comes in -- jz

+1 on the Ultima ignitions

-1 on the coil - never had a problem with one myself. Have recommended this unit to many forum members over the past several years and no one has reported a problem with the coil. It is pretty well the most popular electronic ignition among IronHead owners.

You do not need the programming kit.

Jireh Cycles usually has the best price for the complete kit ...
