dyna ignition with stock coils??

My bike has stock coils ohms out at 4.6. And 4.3
I'm on my second dyna and the guy I got the bike off of replaced one as well.
My question is would a 4.6 stock coil help the dyna go bad quicker than usual?
I have put the 3 ohm green coils on the bike. Along with dyna wires and new ignition no problems yet.. I really don't see why the higher ohm coils would make a difference.
Maybe just dumb luck with the dynasty at the time..or maybe the garage gremlins left the key on when I wasn't looking

Dynas not dynasty.. freeking auto correct

Not sure if your running resistor caps? But i remember reading on dyna's website before where they said not run them. But not sure if that will hurt the ign? But ive heard of weak or overcharging alternator causing them to fail.

The stock coils did have resistor caps..and now that you mentioned week alternator i did have to replace the battery..but the battery was from 2009 and fired up the bike easily but under a test at Autozone proved to be bad .

You could test the stator and see if its charging correctly.

I don't see how a higher Ohm coil would cause the ignition to go bad, but an old flaky coil might if it was allowing the high voltage windings to arc down which would blow out stuff on the low voltage side.

Just so you know, the Dyna comes with a warranty they will have you run some tests then send the product to Montana. If it tests out bad they will replace it. I had one go bad, they said it was just a bad unit. Of couse I was running the green coils. Have never had another problem since it was replaced.

dynateck told me coils need to match ignition.. dyna s with 3 ohm coils will give a much better spark out put ..( of course)
They also said if you run dw-200 plug wires (copper core ) with OEM resistor caps will be best ..they recommended this .
