Dyna coils and MK11 ignition

[Taffus]

Just join the red and pink wires.....

There will be some extensive wire replacement and a relay feed going in like the rest of the fleet

That wired george md is very good. I'm tempted for the A4 but it's running really good so I'm a bit reticent to do it.

If the voltage at the coils is already close to 12v not a lot of point

True! and it's running fine.......

Never been big on electrickery but having a stab at putting a pair of 3ohm Dynas on the MkII. With he below diagram when bypassing the ballast and plumbing in the wires does it matter as to where the wires go i.e. -
For Cylinders 1 & 4 with the red and black feed does the red go to the top of the coil terminal when mounted or to the bottom or ..........& likewise for the coil feeding Cyl 2 & 3.

3 ohms is the go with Mk11's

Have wired up as per the above diagram, bike turns over but doesn't fire. I take it the diagram is correct ???

If so then I must have the wires all screwed up. I have the dyna green 3ohm coils with the HT leads coming out from on top and facing forward when in frame. With the two red power wires I have them fitted to the 'Top' connector on the Dyna and the Black / Green respectively to the bottom connector when the coils are mounted ?

Really need a profile diagram on the coils rather than the plan ones above. Cheers for any advice

Either swap Black/Green feeds around ------ or the mounting post is shorting the power - the low tension power screws sit very close to mountings!!!

I'm running 3 ohm Green Dynacoils with my standard Mark II ignition.
You need to remove the Ballast Resistor used with the standard MKII coils.
Been running like this for 3 years with no issues.

+1 on the above . I was kindly educated on this point a short while ago on this Forum here (thanks again guys for that ! ) as I have been running MK2 ignition on my 900 with the Std OEM 'near' 4 ohm coils and the Resistor .....'wrongly' still hooked up to them ! I was lucky my coils are still fine & all's good.

All sorted and running well. Only issue I have is that on a cold start up the starter motor appears to 'run on' with a cold start and the motor not running up. Takes a few goes with a bit of choke on these chilly Oz mornings of late and every now and then I get that 'run on' issue with he starter.

just bought a mk2 its running grey dyna coils with standard ignition

Dunno answer to that - but on me Harris I was running Dyna S with Grey (2.2 Ohm) Dyna coils and one of them fried after a 100 miles
