Mike I just went all the way back to number 28 and yes I read it and if this is it God I want to shoot myself not literally at least I want to ride the bike for a couple hours then shoot myself
. I really appreciate everything dude and I hope this is it would order that damn thing a month ago. I will definitely let you know have a great weekend what's left of it in quarantine, I hope your bike is running.
Wait up. Here is a mistake that worked out? I think I said the oil is low to very little to change out the senor, not start it up without the sensor in play. However, you lit it off without a set of points, more or less, and oiled the place. I wanna laugh, but you just schooled the house if not me for a simple test.
Where most likely the steel side had the coil winding behind the core or the nose you sprayed. Walk it:
When it cut out for the first time, I shot the breaker with dust off, I called it freeze spray. I then tried to start it The bike back up and it did not start. Way back end of last year when I was trying to figure this out someone told me that it was tripping the breaker and that it must be something electrical. With all the different conversations and text messages it's somehow went to it was popping the breaker, and then someone said you heard a popping when the breaker tripped. So this whole time of course a couple months off in the winter when I couldn't ride it anyway me and everybody else thought it was something electrical and hell it still might be. Then the cold spray was brought up with the crank sensor so that's where I ended up yesterday. Tried to start it after it died would not start, then I sprayed the breaker and it still would not start, then I shot the outside of the crank sensor, would not start, then I took the crank sensor out sprayed it cleaned it put it back in and it started right up, since the bike was still fairly warm it ran for about five six seven minutes and then cut out again, try to start it would not start took the crank sensor out real quick cleaned it it shot it The cold spray put it back in and it cranked right up. I'm hoping it's the crank sensor. A friend of mine has an '04 but I think his engine is newer and I think someone said they used the same crank sensor in '05 on up and may go try to borrow his and put it in and see if that's what it is. Or if anybody has a Harley cross reference I could run to the Harley dealership on Monday.
Thank you my brother, FYI I ordered that Crank sensor and installed it last night and the bike did not cut off. Pretty happy about that went up and down my road drove around the neighborhood came home 24 minutes and it was still running so I was pretty damn happy. But the pipes underneath my heat shields still get a little red, not sure if that's normal and I actually wrote it around the neighborhood. Was low on fuel and all I had was non-ethanol gas for my mowers so I put a little in just for the ride seemed to ride okay but it was late didn't want to wake up the neighbors. Still not home yet Long day was hoping to get a little ride today to see if everything was good with some better fuel in the tank. I usually run 92 or 93 octane always seem to run pretty good with that. Again appreciate everything I will give you another update after I take it for a longer spin.
Yup, that is a common problem.
That is to low, the voltage regulator should be putting 14.4 volts to the battery.
I put a new Crank sensor in, and seem to have worked fixed by overheating and dying problem. $120 for the part and my problem went away thank God.
I will check again to double check what I wrote a while back.
Does anybody know what is the correct way to check what the voltage regulator is sending to the battery do I just put my voltmeter on the 40 amp breaker and test it that way or is there a better way
No, the bike's been running great ever since I changed the crank sensor. Although my check engine light just came on yesterday,I was about 30 miles from home but bike ran great. I ordered a new 9-p in male and female connector so I could try to get the protein software to work so I can check and see what is wrong with it now
Just read the end how do you check the vent on the gas cap
