I just installed the Green 3 ohm units on my '80 KZ1000 LTD and the spark is much better (caused my idle RPM to jump up by 200!). I did remove the ballast resistor as per Z1Enterprizes recommendation. They had easy to follow diagrams and instructions. Do you still have the resistor installed?
Sorry, but I can't help you ref the Dyna S. I left mine stock since the points are already gone on the '1980 bikes.
You should indeed still have spark wheather or not it was timed. According to wiredgeorge's website, there is an additional wire from the Dyna S that is wired to 12V (see his ignition re-power pages). That may be part of your problem.
Good Luck!

OK, look at the ends of the wires on your Dyna S. Although the wires are white and black (and a red one), they have bands on the ends. One band is GREEN and one band is BLACK. The GREEN band indicates that this wire is coming from the 2/3 side of the Dyna S. Whichever coil you connect this wire to becomes the 2/3 coil. Generally, this will be the right coil as you sit on the bike. The BLACK banded wire when hooked up, will become the 1/4 coil.
As noted, the cylinders are numbered 1,2,3,4 (left to right) as you sit on the bike. The other wire is RED coming off the Dyna S. You will connect this to the coil power wires (yellow/red) using the blue splice provided. I would not use the splice but would solder/shrink wrap as that splice is kind of junky.
Use a test light to intially set the timing using the "static" method then use a timing light once you get the bike running.

I always look to them first for everything I need for my KZ. They are fast and I have yet to find anyone priced lower.

Could you clarify this.Are you saying the coils need to be grounded to the frame?Why was it blowing fuses when it was mounted to the frame before?<br><br>Post edited by: mark1122, at: 2006/08/30 14:52
They don't get grounded to the frame.
He was saying the connectors on the coils were touching the frame which was causing a short. They are not supposed to touch the frame.
