I hope that Martek is still OK Paul, they're fabulous ignitions. I've got a box full of CB750 Marteks and I put a NOS 440 on my Suzuki GS1000 along with Dyna 3 Ohm coils when the OEM black box crapped out 5 years ago, and it's still going strong. Cheers, Terry.

So Terry your saying I can cut out the black box on the Martek and use it with 3 ohm coils? problem could be in the black box? It looks like a very well built ignition.
I have 3 ohm coil's on one bike I can test them on.

Hey All, Half way to work bogging down pull the front plug this time and there firing now the back 2 are not.
I put in a used dyna and a used coil for the 1 and 2.
I'm putting in a known good dyna and if that doesn't work I might be putting in 1100 coils or just getting some new ones from dyna.
