If that is a stock elect ign It is probably the prestolite I'd replace it with points or a dyna s system This wasn't of HD's brighter ign systems I replaced my prestolite system along the highway(always carried a set of pts just in case)

Acording to my wiring diagram. 2 wires to coil top and bottom from electronic ignition. One wire from bottom to kill switch (ignition). If it turns out to be a bad electronic ignition. I would go to the points set up.

Sounds right. If it is a prestolite ignition they either worked or they didn't. Go back to points you will be much happier and it is a lot cheaper.
