Help needed: Harley no-spark situation

[nick5446]

I'm leaning towards a ground problem
Having owned a number of older harleys , in my experience it's always the wiring thats the weak point due to vibration.
I had a similar issue on my old dresser and it turned out to be a bad ground , took me forever to find it,turned out it was the radio was the culprit
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.

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.

Thanks for your help! I'll send you a note on that manual...I have one too, but it sounds like yours is better.

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.
