Default Rear cylinder not firing

Hi,

I got a problem with my 82 FXRS, it's a 93cui Stroker, S&S heads dual plug, Hi lift cam, roller rocker, S&S Super E with a Dyna S single fire.
During my last ride, the engine lost power and missfired. I had the same problem before due to a broken wire (according to the dealer). I checked the wires, changed the Dyna S, checked the coils( interchanged them), went with new ignition cables, checked continuity, no change!
Compression is good.

Any ideas?

Frank

Have you checked the wires from the Dyna to the coils for a break?

One common problen i've seen is if the rear cylinder is not firing, it was due to the Single fire ign.(Dyna-S)
