Older Boyer stuff needs a good +12v

Hi any updates ? you up and running ?

Hi any updates ? you up and running ?

Nope - not been able to do much as been very busy recently - although managed to pop out tonight for 1/2 hours and give it a good staring at, but still nothing

Had a good look at the wiring trying to figure out what does what, but to be honest I'm not good with vehicle electrics, or very patient

Anyone in the Oxford area fancy popping round to lend a hand? tea and biscuits available

Can you return to points set up ?

Under normal circumstances I'd pop over but I'm also off to Jerez for a track weekend. Can't even offer you the loan of the Boyer system off my GPz as that packed up at the weekend and has gone back to Boyer for repair.

Becker - I have a spare Dyna ignition for my project build you can borrow

Let me know

Cheers

I have a Boyer ignition that I got from z1000pudding.
I used the magnet from it for another bike but you are welcome to a loan of the rest.
let me know and I can post it to you.

Withba good 12v to the black box disconnect the two green and black pick up wires Touching these tails going to the box should produce a spark. No spark = suspect box. Change it for Dyna S

What a great bunch of guys you lot are

Steve - cheers, its an idea, but don't really want to go backwards

Martin - thanks for the offer to pop over - if I don't get anywhere soon, could you pop over in early April?

PJ - many thanks - yes please can I borrow - its a lack of alternative kit to try out holding me back a bit - how do you want to do this - I could probably pop up sometime in the next few days, or could you post cheaply? I'll drop you a pm with my number.

Oldzed - many thanks - might take you up on that - will try PJ's 1st

Zedhead - cheers for the tips - will try that 1st - its simple tests like this that can really help with diagnosis

I should be able to. Depending on how it's been wired in to the loom I might be able to strip the Dyna S off my Z900 for you to try.

Cheers Martin - thanks for the offer, but don't go to the trouble of removing stuff from one of your bikes hopefully I can use PJ's or some of the other offers I'll let you know how things go
