2/3 Coil only fires half the time!!! RESOLVED :)

To tell if your ignition coil has removable sparkplug wires, see if the caps/covers have ridges on them. If not, your sparkplug wires may be molded to the coils as Kawasaki seemed to have no rhyme or reason for doing it this way.

See illustration below.

Also, if not already done, would assure the coils' primary terminal screws aren't shorting against the coil mounting spacer or elsewhere, as the screw heads are a very close fit with certain Dyna coils.

Am presupposing the new Dyna ignition coils are the correct resistance for using with the stock Kawasaki igniter style ignition system.

Good Fortune!
