Static Timing the Compu-Fire HDE-1 Ignition on my Harley Davidson Evolution Project

Quick video showing how to set static timing of the Compu-Fire HDE-1 Ignition module in my 1992 Harley Davidson Evolution project. Follow the progress of the project here: www.sportsterpr...
Compu-Fire HDE-1 Ignition Kit: amzn.to/2JTJTmU
Alternate title: How many times can I drop the t-handle wrench.
Overview of the Compu-Fire HDE-1 static timing process:
- Set engine to front cylinder top dead center (TDC)
- Install timing rotor in proper position with tab in the keyed slot. Torque spec for the rotor screw is 25 in./lbs.
- Install ignition module in cam chest cone
- Rotate ignition module counter clockwise and tighten standoff screws - tight enough to hold ignition in place, but loose enough that you can rotate ignition module
- Connect red lead from ignition module to positive battery terminal
- Use magnet stack from kit to turn off TDC light on ignition module
- Slowly rotate the ignition module clockwise until TDC light comes on
- Tighten standoff screws to lock ignition into place.
- Ignition is static timed.

I put one in my 94 dyna fxdl and it runs like a top . I haven't had a bot of trouble with it . Am running a EV27 cam and larger jets in CV carb . Bike runs excellent , instructions were easy to follow and I couldn't be happier with it . Can't explain why people are complaining when it worked just fine for me . I highly recommend it .

Nice 👍

Could you message me some more information on setting the voes switches so I can be sure I'm doing it correctly

[@lynskyrd]

from the looks of the cam shaft- it almost seems like you were TDC on the exhaust stroke. Maybe it was just the way the video was edited... or maybe you 'discovered' this after. Anyway- as a suggestion; start from the beginning. Wiring the coil, explaining the singe / dual fire settings on the module. Ride safe everybody.

Hey brother my ignition i believe fryed . I have a 1340 evo . I have never replaced 1 before. I bought a dyna 2000 ignition for it I am going to plug it in under the seat is that everything I have to do ? And just unplug the one in the cone. Like I said I have no clue I use this motorcycle to get to work so any help.is very much appreciated thank you

I have not installed a Dyna 2000 ignition but this looks like a series of videos on installing on in a Evo from start to finish. ruclips.net/video/F3ayzkEgAf8/видео.html
Hope that helps!

@@SportsterProject thanks brother I really appreciate it . It's hard to find people that will help ya out these days and this bike is the only thing I own and I'm super stressed out that it's down.

How to install on 600cc Suzuki. Surprised no one has tried this on one of the japanese makes.

[@nathanrice1796]

Do the cylinders fire 45 degrees apart? Do they use a waste spark system? Thanks for your help.

i had a compu fire on my shovelhead and they are crap

[@jayblue5310]

This product is junk

[@lynskyrd]

??? yes- by all means- just leave a four word comment but don't explain. The product is NOT junk. I actually replaced a Twin-Tec module with this Compu-Fire setup which I find better built. The pickup sensors on the old Twin-Tec broke off the module plate. This Compu-Fire design is much better. I owned both and I'll take the Compu-Fire .

[@robertgood7882]

yes its complete junk
