going to the Dyna S innition, is this a huge job
? looked aroundfor prices and well it doesnt seem to bad. but can a green thumb at motorcycles do it? i guess im not totally green when it comes to mechanice, but like i said bikes are a bit new to me. so i guess if i can turn a wrench and with the right info and direction i can do the same as i can with a car etc...thanks again guys

since the floats stcuk and I didn't see it mentioned... do you have a gas filter? what is the condition of the tank - as far as rust. Sound like dirt in fuel may be the issue and the other stuff symptems.

Something I saw in someone's signature line comes to mind:
"Riding is the reward for time spent wrenching. Wrenching is the reward for time spent riding."
Or something like that. If I didn't enjoy wrenching I'd not be riding vintage bikes. I spend a LOT of time in the garage, but I enjoy that. It's time well spent IMO.
Still sounds like you've got dirty carbs.

Installing a Dyna S ignition is not a huge job at all. Anyone with a reasonable ability to run wires and turn a screwdriver should be able to do it in 30-60 minutes. It really isn't a big deal, and you can say goodbye to adjusting and replacing points forever.
I put one on my '78 KZ1000, and it runs great.
