Just put in Dynatek s ignition. Static timed correctly. When I want to go for a ride I can't get out of first gear without it missing. Stuttering and sputtering. But it idles ok. I am baffled. And I had run this ignition before perfectly
I assume you've rechecked all your connections?
Got a dash mounted ignition switch? Might have a bad contact or broken wire that shows up when revving.
Check all the obvious, connections, grounds, etc... especially check and make sure you used the correct timing mark on compression stroke.

Does it have the proper timing rotor?
Yes static timed correctly. Over and over. I will not time it any more
It is something else. Just switched ignition dash switch. Same thing
Is it timed to the correct lobe? They are not 180* apart with the 45* twin.
I did have a dynatek 2000i finally go bad on me after 17 years. It would occasionally just cut out going down the road but that doesn't sound like your problem.
Don't get cranky, but I do have to ask, since I had a very similar situation. Would start and idle fine, but would not rev or take any throttle.
Do you have an Evo also?
What timing mark for TDC did you use on the Shovel flywheel?
I ask this, because the marks on a Shovel and Evo are opposite. Not sure why HD did that dirty little trick, but it totally screwed me up and I timed the Shovel to the wrong mark because I thought I "knew" what the TDC mark looks like! So it ended up being advanced like crazy.

Would I idle and start so easy if it were a valve spring??
Timing mark is single dot for 81 FLH
Could it be my s s shorty e. Maybe accelerator pump. But I smell gas as if it is feeding cylinders Something is just holding me back. Like something is blocked

Long shot, check the exhaust for blockage?
:scratch: Didn't we just have a thread with these very same symptoms? I seem to remember it was timed to the wrong lobe / cylinder and it idled fine but would not perform. This could be a false memory but if it has spark and fuel ..... :nix:

Wrong member.....
That's what it feels like. The exhaust is blocked but it ain't
I am leaning towards carb. But is only a guess. It went over wires breakers that's it I am stuck
CV carb with a punctured diaphragm?
Is this a brand new ignition? It is possible that it is defective. Rare, but things happen.
Another thought, is the ground/negative wire on the battery good?
Hey guys. I think I just narrowed it down
Ignition coil testing very bad. Primary side reads 3.5 ohms
Secondary side is weak 6,000 ohms. Buying another coil
Let's see
So you just installed a Dyna ignition, and now it runs bad. If it were me, I'd put it back to the same state that it last ran good, i.e. back out the change you made and see if it improves the situation.

Coils are cheap, swap it out.

Agree.
Also the S uses your mechanical advance mechanism. Is it advancing correctly?

:up:
Advance weights are good
Tested some old coils I had all are bad
Gonna buy a new one. This has to be it
Wish me luck
Do you think after testing several coils and having them all come up bad there may be something wrong with your meter? Do you have access to another for comparison.
That's true I. Will pick up another just to be sure. It's weird because all the primary terminals tested good. The secondary terminals did not register any ohms. Diagnosing everything. Let's see
Now I am onto circuit breaker acting up
Feels like voltage being cut off. The main breaker at battery is good
Going into the three under speedo
Pardon my ignorance, but...
What is a three under speedo, and what does that have to do with the ignition system?
:scratch:
-JW
He's talking about the breakers.

me too this bike was running good before he touched it. im interested in the outcome

Well he didn't exactly say that. If so I missed it. :scratch: Just said he's ran the Dyna ignition before.
Does that mean this bike or something else?
Nor did he ever say what prompted him to install the Dyna on this bike.

Check the diaphragm at the accelerator pump. You say you smell gas, so that is likely where it is coming from. It will also stop your bike from accelerating.
