Topic: Dyna Ignition Wires

[.RJ]

I feel like I'm missing something here - the wire is far too small for the crimp, and the white insulation is the right size, but non-conductive.... where am I going wrong 

Last piece of the puzzle, then I can start it up.  Dyna ignition/coils installed and timed, carbs rebuilt, I've got oil pressure...

Bend the stripped part of the wire back over the insulation and then crimp the whole thing in the connector.

Are you gonna try to start it up tonight?  I love those long days in the garage that end with a running bike!

Interesting... I'll do that then.  Do I bend it back "as is" or should i leave the white insulation in place and crimp onto that?

Not going to fire it tonight then, I guess I'll get the wires finished up tomorrow and pick up some fresh gas - then maybe it lives

Its been exactly one year since I brought this basketcase pile of parts home....and I still need to paint the tank, fender and headlight bucket.

Wow!

I smell a future BOTM nominee!
Don't think I've ever seen a 400F tank on a 750 before.  I like it!

Yes, just bend it back as-is.  You need to have the core of the wire in contact with the crimp connector.

Got it, thanks

I love this place 

This was the start... after I sold some parts the bike was free... probably paid too much

Wow! Nice! We need to see some more photos RJ!! Very interesting idea though not sure about the red fluffy pods  However, I do like the gold on the front wheel so more pics please!

 MSD makes a very inexpensive 2 piece crimper that you use in a vise. It works great. Sparty will attest to it too.

I'll have to remember that for next time - I bought the tool that Z1 sells for the wires, looks to be ok - I have a few crimping tools already, but I figured it was better to spend the $12 and not need it than the other way around.

 PS....nice touches on the CB. Like the CBR sitting there too......nice, well rounded bikes. Typical Honda product.

+1 on the MSD tool.  It makes a neat, clean, and strong crimp.

Where can I buy it?

I got mine from Jegs when I ordered my ss oil lines.
