    Timing and points problem 1976 R90/6 not starting.

    Dyna III timing woes

    OK, probably not a Dyna III problem per se... I've got a '71 /5 on which the PO installed a Dyna III electronic ignition. While going through my the-wait-for-a-running-bike-is-almost-over tune-up, I ran into a problem when adjusting the timing dynamically: I get a double S (idle) and double F...
