Bike won't start - help!

Glad you got it sorted, but problems like yours are EXACTLY why I would NOT even consider adding electrical complications to an old bike. Points and condensors win every time in my experience!

Now I've got to send the bits off to Dyna and wait for a warranty decision... more time off the bike.
Might just sell the ignition unit - in retrospect, points seem fine to me!

My point exactly, if points mess about, you can reset or replace them at the roadside, and carry on the journey. Do you still have the atu and points plate and original coils? At least that would get you back on the road to enjoy the summer.

Points I've got, but the original coils were dead too, so I'll have to wait unless I can borrow a set or find a cheap set somewhere.
