Topic: 2-3 Cylinder Stopped Firing Mid Ride

[abaksa]

The good news is that Pete is happy and healthy.

 The bad news is, he had some problems on the supply side just as huge orders came in. Something out of his control. He's using new units to try and cover warranty claims and is simply swamped right now.
 He said to tell everyone Thanks and that he's getting to stuff as quickly as possible.

 On a side note....and this is me speaking personally.....how many electrical items come with ANY warranty at all? I think everything I've ever purchased says "no warranty, no returns on electrical items".  Ever tried to get a Dyna replaced under warranty? After several weeks or even months? Hell, just try to get their customer service to respond.
 I know for a FACT that Pete has replaced units at his expense that were destroyed 100% by the end users faultiness.
I'm grateful for his participation in our hobby.

Thank you Scott for the update. I will wait patiently for his response. I can't imagine how swamped he is on a regular basis, not to mention when issues arise with supplies. I'm definitely grateful for the warranty and for everyone's help with this issue.

I actually have Pamco from Dorothy boxed in storage, you are in Lancaster, if I ship it you could have it next week and when you get a replacement from Pete, you would just send it back to me.

I will not need it for year or more.

Let me know

Sounds like we are having the same issue. I ordered new coils plugs and caps hoping this fix the no spark issue with my 2 and 3 plugs

I really appreciate it that, but I just wouldn't feel right taking the responsibility of someone else PAMCO, I'd hate for anything to go wrong. But thank you, that's really nice of you. I can make a couple more weeks, hopefully everything will be sorted out by then.

It's a frustrating problem, I almost did the same thing, but after testing my coils, they came up fine. I switched my left one to the right position and it fired the 1-4 cylinder just fine. I also switched plug wires from 1 to 2 position, and the #2 plug wire gave a spark on the #1 position, so that ruled that part out. Hopefully it's not your ignition system. What PamcoPete told me to do was to test the red and green wires that go from that coil to the ignition board. Per his instructions, the green wire should read at 12V and once the ignition button is hit and engine starts to turn, it should make its way around 0V. You may know this already, but just thought I'd pass along anything that I learned during this fix.

His problem is rather different. He has a Dyna S and 2 different coils. So his non-firing coil is due to being a 3Ohm mixed with a 5Ohm.

Oh ok, I see. Then my advice is useless in this case haha.

Thanks everyone for their help. Pete is sending me a new unit under the warranty. Should be back and running in no time!

New ignition thanks to Pete, and all cylinders firing beautifully. PROBLEM SOLVED! Thanks Pete for such great service.
