I started by disconnecting everything that wasn't necessary to make the bike run and then worked backwards from there.
Good luck , but on a positive note you own the best motor ever put out by harley , totally dead nuts reliable
Thanks Mick! Sounds very similar to what I've got going on. I think my grounds are all good...but I've said that before.
Re: Help needed: Harley no-spark situation
sorry hes been out with the flu.
talked with another tech. nothing jumped out at him though. tough to diag over the interwebs.
pulled a 93 manual though and theres a whole section on the ignition system and testing for no spark conditions.
i can try to scan and email it if you give me your address.
Re: Help needed: Harley no-spark situation
Thanks for your help! I'll send you a note on that manual...I have one too, but it sounds like yours is better.
Re: Help needed: Harley no-spark situation
My dad has a Evo motored Harley way back when. Ignition coil let go from vibration. But you replaced the coil. So I'd say ground as well.
