Why does my Harley Davidson start and stall?
All in all it’s a strong running bike and this is usually just a minor annoyance, still if there’s a quick fix I’d love to hear it.Thanks -Bob A: Bob, the most common reason a m/c will act this way is because of an intake leak. Start the bike cold. Mist the intake flanges with brake cleaner.
When was the last time my Harley died?
Yesterday (Thursday) I road her to work, going out after work, and home (~40mi) just fine, nothing out of the ordinary. Figured I was in the clear and it was just some freaky coincidence the day before
Why does my bike start when I turn it off?
Unscrew the ignition module from the bracket and wiggle the wires when the bike is on. If you duplicate the issue, that’s it. That could also be why it starts sometimes and not others. Bc you’re turning the key on and off and it’s “hitting” right or wrong.
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?
Can a cold engine start a Harley Davidson?
After waiting say 15 or 20 minutes, it starts fine. It doesnt do this all the time and never when I first start with a cold engine. Only after I have been riding awhile sometimes it will start right away but seems after the 4th or 5th stop nothing, it just cranks like it not getting any gas or not firing.
Why does my Harley Davidson stall when I idle?
It always starts easily when cold and idles well, but after a few minutes, if I’m idling awhile to get out of my driveway, the idle will fall and the engine will threaten to stall. If it does stall it’s hard to get started again, I have to give it a little throttle to get it to start and stay running.
Why does my Harley Davidson hard start when hot?
Hard starting when HOT, but the engine spins up fine, means either lack of fuel or weak, no spark. If your Dyna is EFI, your fuel pump is losing prime/pressure due to fuel line leak…look here: http://www.hdtimeline.com/diagnosti…lated/979-engine_dies_and_runs_in_spurts.html
