I am pretty sure mine is toast. What would you suggest, new or used. $$
Any number of things. Popping at idle, misfiring at low speeds or vice versa. Could easily be the early box you have which there isn't a current available replacement.

Tim, I have about zero electrical experience but Prezmek was replacing a few parts in the old TCI's for me after I got the parts. I could send you an old box and let you look it over. A fully converted box to digital would be even better! I may have a newer version I could send too.
I may be able to reverse engineer the old one. Have you taken one apart? Any proprietary chips?

As I've mentioned that could be done with no problems.Sean,
I have two Version 1 bikes in the back of my shop. When my world stops spinning a million miles an hour, I was wanting to pull the motor an send it to you. I want to resto the bike to original for the wife. It's a leftover 85 sold as an 86. Anyway, I could look at the circuit at that time. The only way the Version 2 Digital Ignition will work on the Version 1 Analog system is if the flywheels have the same number and placement of magnets. I have never tested them both, but my guess would be that I don't think they will play with each other. I could design and build a digital replacement board that utilizes the existing pick-ups. Unless I could find a new enclosure to put it in, it could be housed in the old box. I have to get the ECU reflashes under my belt and then I could look at this. Since I don't have time to pull the bike apart, if you have a worthless and defective one that you could send, if it's purely analog I may be able to reverse it pretty quick. I didn't know they had quit making them. I am thinking this will become a major problem in the near term for old version Gen 1 owners!? Me being in that crowd a couple times over, I don't want to see that happen.

Update: I just went and looked at K&N Motorcycles website. They list the '85 year model Igniter Unit SKU#1FK-82305-10-00 as being available for $837 bucks.
Unfortunetly they like to go bad.Like that idea Sean, and would buy one for sure. Is the Dyna unreliable for older Gen 1's ?
