1992 Daytona Dyna won't start!
My 1992 H-D FXDB won't start when I try to crank it. The solenoids in the starter won't click. My multi-meter (Which I send out for calibration yearly) reassures me that the battery has 12V. It all started when I was riding back from the gym and it randomly died on me twice. Then I pushed a half mile home & now it wont even start. The four-pin connectors are showing some of the green corrosion, but nothing to significant. HELPPPP

Get rid of any corrosion at all connections, fuses, relays, battery and ground cables. Sitting voltage of 12 is on the low side. What matters is the voltage under load, which is while you're cranking it. I would make sure it's fully charged and then load test it. How old is it?

First step in any starting issue is to make sure your getting spark and fuel. When checking for spark, the 1st step is to make sure the charging system is working properly....starting with the battery, charge and load test, don’t just take a meter to it, actually have it load tested. Once the battery is sorted, then check the stator and regulator. If everything checks out then you can move to other areas like the coil, plug wires, ignition system etc. If you have spark, then move on to fuel...
let us know how make out...
