Thread: no spark

Welcome CKluttz to the HDTalking forum...being as you just came on board...take a bit of time to look over the tabs near the top of the web page, Self Help Tips may provide insight into the problem you are having, and also Search using keywords to find related threads to help you troubleshoot. That said, it sound like a bit of background is needed before we can help. Did you try the basics...

I agree start with the basics, a service manual would be a great help, but you should also check out the self help tabs. Maybe check the plug wires, also meter the coil to make sure it is still in proper working order. If you still need help repost with a little more info. on your problem, with all the great people here we will get you fixed up.

yes, I have the HD service manual. I have checked connections and for any pinched wires. No mods in the last year. Two weeks ago, she fired up with no problems, other that having to jump her off at the battery. After doing this, and letting her idle for about 15 mins. I shut her down, then fired her up again with no issues.I checked all the fuses. The relays are working, because the fuel pump is...

Are your spark plugs in good working order?

Yeah a bad set of plugs will do that. Did you try the front plug in the rear wire to ground to see if you were getting spark that way?

How old are the wires maybe time for new ones

Good Deal, make sure you do the routine maintainance..."ohm" out the wires for proper resistance (check manual for proper range), and use dielectric grease on the contacts. Also make sure the nipples on the plugs are securely tightened. Being as your bike is about 7 years running it might be a good idea to follow Jacks' tip...wires can be made or pre-dressed for about $30.
