Just another update. Theres currently 8 perm people talking / helping other, and we usually have 10 and sometimes 12 people around. We range from 4age car engines to V8s, bikes with multi coil spark outputs and other setups. Dont be afraid to drop in and say hi to us !!

Theres 3 "regular" people hanging in there currently, me (aussie) a new zealander and a fin.
All are welcome to come and have a chat at any time !

Hope to see you in there one day.

7500rpm max power, 8000rpm retard.

Ive fully charged my battery as constant stop / start / test in the shed has flattened it a fair bit, and i couldnt start it unless i jumped it. It still feels "fluffy" at ~5000rpm. But i suspect a weak battery can cause that.
im going to follow the flow chart ...

Ive tried standard dwell with 8ms. Bike seems to run much nicer at low end, but tends to die at top end. It used to idle @ 12.6v, now its 11.8v, and it maxes out at 12.6v around 4500rpm. Where as previously it was 13.8v. I suspect my charging system cant handle the new uprated coils and huge dwell ...

i have a few options here.
With the "standard dwell" option, i can only set "max dwell duration" to 8ms.
Dwell time is not editable unless i set it to "time after spark", and that means i can only put in Dwell time, everything else is not editable in that form. But i can set 10ms dwell in that way ...

@ MegaDave
wow, smart man you are :)
i just got a reply email from Dyna, 12hr turn around, so im well happy.. this is what they have to say:
"The minimum dwell time would be 8 milli-seconds, and up to 12; the inductance
in mH is 13.5, which can vary from 13 to 14. I hope this helps."

So it seems my ...

I have dyna DC3-1 coils, they are rated at 3ohm. Fairly common on bikes.

From the + to - terminals, its 3.6ohm on the multimeter.
From the + to the spark output is 14.24kohm
Obviously a 12v engine.
Im not sure about the L (inductance) on my system. I use DW ...
