long time no post. I just picked up a 1970 flh It has a kick only set up old crane hi 4 super E. I had problems with fuel fouled plugs took care of that made carb adjustments now I'm having trouble firing it up. it starts then stops kick kick kick etc. then back fire out carb. over again, im thinking it maybe ignition any any advise?
I found 3 wire splices in the harness of electronic ign. from nose cone to coil real interesting set up I don't know how it ran at all there is no way I can used this unit again it looks like an older one. I have found so many interesting things on this bike from a 1/2 inch nut loose in primary to a 19mm long socket and Phillips screw driver in seat post. I see a new wiring harness in near future, still for $4000 not bad numbers matching.
The wiring on this bike looks like it is home made nothing matches the manual blade type fuses were installed it a mess. I have fouls that I can get a new harness. Where are the wire boards located?
