need timing and carb help in OKC, OK area.

Maybe I missed it, but what Brand, Model and Input Resistance Coils are you now running? Did you change the High Voltage Ignition Wires too? :dry:

Best of success.

no those are all stock. I didn't have funds for new coils. Plug wires I may do soon. The coils don't seem to be giving me any fits, but time will tell. i will most likely replace them for good measure.

Good stuff... we all have a budget.

Note that your OEM Coil(s) is probably a 5 Ohm unit if it uses Points but the matching Dyna (Green) Coil will need to 3 Ohms for the Dyna S Electronic Ignition... Fortunately, 5 Ohm Coil with Dyna S should work good enough even if the spark is a bit weaker. Watch for the Black-Sooty Plugs symptom in the meantime.

Just a caution here... I have read that one should not put the key in the ON position, with the bike not running, and walk away. The Dyna S draws a lot of current in this state and will damage, melt, destroy and or burn the coil. Don't want to lose your bike, garage and or house. :ohmy:

Best of success.

In your original post my guess was a bad connection to one of the coils. Now that you've corrected the power issue and installed the Dyna, I think you'll find it's a great ride. Enjoy!

Just saw this thread.

I'm in OKC, up in the NW corner, near NW 122nd and County Line Rd. I also ride a 78 650 B2. If you have the stock exhaust and intake system then the 102.5 are the jets to use, with the clip in the 4th notch, and #15 pilots.
Give a holler and we'll go riding. Send me a PM.

this is perfect, I got it going today, pretty well. I am going to replace the pilots, just to make sure they are the right size, and clean, and I think I might need to adjust the needle. Ran well today. I am afraid of running lean so scared...

That's strange. I'm at Piedmont Road and Northwest Expressway. OKC has a lot of KZ fans I guess.

Well c'mon we have to go riding. I sent PM's to both of you, call me. What are you guys doing today?
