TOPIC:

I installed a off the shelf relay for my coils. It goes directly to the battery with a fuse. It is activated by the switches. Both coils get power from the same wire. Most are yellow with red stripe. The others go to the points/ contacts or igniter.

Steve you talking about the wiredgeorge method? I did it years ago- before i even found this forum and was on a different one that I can't remember the name-but a fella named stargate or something in Arkansas helped me through it. Been working great with never an issue.

I did this: red tester probe on the yellow/red wire
Black tester probe on the black wire
Key on: 11.54 volts.

When testing voltage black probe on battery ground. And I mean right on the battery, Perferably with the point you are testing disconnected from any load. You can work from there, but if you skip step #1, you will be chasing your tail endlessly.

I have electronic, no points. So i made a mistake testing that way i wrote?
The relay swest are talking about so its a modification? For now i need to just restore power at my coils or understand if i did well the test.
I can read on my meter power only to te right coil.
I think my terribile , random idle , its just weak spark..

Pics?

It's bugging me. I want to hellp but I don't know how to heelp.
Steve

You can energize the relay straight from the coil + as RWest suggests. This way when the key is on, you get battery power direct to the coils.

That's weird you say that Steve as I keep going back here hoping a cure is found ....and wiring is my weakest point.

It may be something simple or the igniter could be shorted on that one leg. Might have to get a Dyna S and move on.
Steve

OK. Let me make a point.
First of all i get a professional bench meter..
I have 750 ohm in my pickupcoil wires. Both
Is it shot?

Then i measured again the coil voltage.
If i use the black meter probe on the frame, at ground, i have +12volts to both side.
If i use only the wires, i have voltage only at the right coil, as i said before.

Why i have to measure voltage with black probe on the ground, if i will have my coils attached to te wires?
The coils need to be good groundend then?

I tryed to test my igniter too. I cant read anything else than a flickering "19.999" on the meter.

Your manual will have the procedure for testing the igniter. Invariably they will also say if it tests good but still doesn't work, switch it with a known good unit. I had a 175 years ago. No matter what I did, it still wouldn't fire. I found a used one and rode that bike until the top end blew. I wish I'd kept it.

Mine fire, but just weak...thisi the point..
