Default 2005 Electra Glide

I cannot get the rear cylinder to fire when I switch the front cylinder wire to the rear the bike will not start at all put back and now it starts and the front cylinder is firing again. I switched spark plugs and the front fires. I know switching the plug wires should not do anything but it does. Is the right place for this?

Whoa Buzz, no pressure right!?

I'm reading but don't entirely understand. Your rear cylinder is not firing and you tried using the wire from the front on the rear and nothing happened but you know both plugs are working properly? Have you checked the coil with a voltmeter yet?

You put the plug wire from the FRONT cylinder on the REAR cylinder plug and then tried to start your bike? Sorry, but you, sir, are asking for trouble.

You should have a single fire ignition not a dual fire like the older harleys so you cant switch the plug wires around like the old harleys
