So finally bought my first Harley, a 2000 FXD with 53k on the clock. Test rode it for about 3/4-1mile. Ran great. Took it home, gassed it up, rode about 2-3 mile and it died. No slow cough, just dead. Lights and electrical were still on. Got it restarted, it made it about 100 yards and did it again. Got it started again with some effort, same.
Pushed it home, charged the battery, and got it fired and it would idle for a minute or so then die the same way. Now it won’t start at all. So far I’ve replaced:
coil, plug wires, plugs, drained and added new gas, replaced battery, replaced air cleaner, removed and cleaned carb and replaced jets.
Just tested spark tonight and no spark at either plug.
I’ve checked and cleaned speed and crank position sensor. It’s a first Gen digital tac with diagnostic mode, so ran it and codes were clear except d02.
I’ve checked the plug going into the coil, has three receptacles for the three pins on the coil. Turned on the ignition, and the center receptacle is reading 9 volts.
any help on this one would be appreciated. Didn’t buy the thing to stare at it, but about done with this one.
