What happens to the spark plug on a Harley Davidson?
If the engine is running dangerously lean the whole plug tip will be grey or white. If the temperature is over 850-degrees, pre-ignition may occur. Engine power will be reduced and you risk piston damage.
What should I do when I remove my spark plugs?
When you’ve removed your spark plugs, check the condition of the threads in the cylinder head and put a cloth over the cylinder head if you’re going to leave it exposed. Install each spark plug by hand until you have wound the thread a couple of turns. This reduces the chances of you cross-threading the plug.
What do you need to know about spark plugs?
Unplug your right side switches from the main harness. With a jumper lead, put 12 volts to the black (or black w/red tracer) wire and see what your results are. Also, find your starter relay. Make sure that the red wire (#30 in the relay plug) is correctly powered when ignition switch is on. Make sure that the black wire #85 has a good ground.
What should I do if my Harley won’t start?
Everything works perfectly – Lights, hear the fuel pump kick on, signal, brakes, switches appear fine and I changed the gas to highest just in case and nothing. I checked spark by pulling a plug and starting while on the cyl. and no spark. Put a new coil in it and nothing. Cranks great and all is appearing to be fine but no fire/start?
Where is the spark plug on a Harley Davidson ignition coil?
The primary is the area on the Harley Davidson ignition coil where the wires from the motorcycle’s harness are connected. The secondary of the coil is the area/towers where the spark plug wires plug in. There are two types of coils used on most Harley-Davidsons. Dual fire and single fire. Dual fire coils send spark to both cylinders, all the time.

Why is there no spark to my spark plugs?
There was no spark to the plugs. Was turning over real good. No spark. Good fuel. The service dept. told me that the coil hardly goes bad. It might be the crankshaft sensor. I replaced it and it started. Then a couple of days later it did the same thing, so spark.
