hi to all, I have a very odd question, I ride a 93 Heritage installed with Andrews EV13 cam, Fireball HI4E module, dyna coil, s&s Super E carb and kick start, for like 4 months I have a very irregular rear cylinder no-fire problem, I have done many settings and re-adjustments but I  can never run it properly for longer than 30 minutes...Could it be the fuel ?? or Fire Ball Ign module settings... can anyone help me ??

The coil needs to be a Fireball, dyna ignition is a different ohms then Crane

I've been running crane ignition with the green dyna single fire coils for years without issues.   :nix:  As I recall the single fire dual coil (single unit) should be fine from either crane or dyna.  (I think those are 5ohm coils).  That said I had multiple failures of the crane single fire coil, ditched it and went to dual dyna stick coils (green).

If it was a cone ignition I'd drop blame squarely on the hi-4 because their failure pattern is to drop a cylinder when they get hot.  But in this case could be the pick up itself with a problem.   Or a coil problem too.   For that matter, if voltage at the ignition drops below 9V on a crane you'll have problems.  My old softail required a relay to bypass the oem wiring which was becoming a problem due to very high resistance causing nasty voltage drop.

Lotta things to check with a handy dandy digital voltmeter.  Check both cold and hot when you have the problem.
