Simple, sounds like you have an ignition source, fuel and lack spark. Agree start from the battery and cables first. Good luck. I'm glad I have not experieced this with my 2007 FXSTC.

 

The problem with putting in a new, more powerful, starter on a pre 2007 is it could pop the jack shaft and take some other parts with it. Starting with the TC96 the jack shaft has been eliminated. In fact you don't even need to pull the primary cover to change starters.

The solution is compression releases and I need them too.

 

My 08 FXSTC does the same thing began after about 30K miles, stock 96 cu engine. Usually when I push the start and run buttons simultaneously it helps

 

Some one on here should be able to help you.

 

Hi,
I also have an '07 FXSTC, and it seems to have the same problem:
Starts instantly when it's cold. I on the way to work, I stop for a paper
about 2.5 miles into my ride. When I come out of the store, it takes a lot of cranking to finally get it to start. Someone suggested opening the throttle all the way while cranking for a minute. That seemed to help a little but it may just be a perception. While I'm cranking it, it has the same smell as an engine that was "dieseling" almost like it needed to get rid of old fumes before it could start. My riding buddy said the problem would probably go away when I got a Stage I upgrade done. Well I did that: 1st generation Screamin Eagle pipes, K&N filter, and new mapping.
It runs great but has the same problem is still there. When the engine is fully warmed up, it starts fine. The Stage I is the only change that has been done to my bike. It only has 5k miles. Would that EiED (Extreme Inline Enrichment Device possible fix this problem? Thanks for listening to my rant.
