Can a standard HD ignition be used on a Harley Davidson?
If not, check that the signal wires from the ignition wire to the coil are not corroded at the coil, or damaged where they come out of the nose cone. Is this a standard HD ignition?
Where is the spark in an ignition system?
Electronic ignition pickups are a component found on traditional electronic distributor ignition systems. They are located inside the distributor and function as the trigger for the ignition system to produce spark. The pickup coil monitors the rotation of the distributor and triggers the ignition system.
Why does my Harley Davidson have no spark?
If you have power to the coil, but no spark at the plugs, you are probably not getting any firing signal from the optics in the ignition module. Open up the nose cone end and see if it is just really dirty in there which can happen if the seal is leaking oil.
How does an ignition module work in a car?
Ignition modules are solid state switching devices that typically use a component like a transistor to switch the current flow through the primary winding of an ignition coil on and off. In that way, an ignition module works a lot like mechanical points. However, ignition modules are not able to do the job alone.

What to do if your Harley Davidson has no spark?
Just installed 12″ bars and cam plate. Buttoned it all up and tried to start it. Motor turns over fine, however no spark. Pulled the plug wires, put another plug in wire and no spark. Took tank back off, no pinched wires. Tested B terminal of coil plug and getting 12 + Volts. Removed power commander, hook bike back to ecm, no spark.

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.

Where does the spark wire go on a V twin?
You mentioned you have power to the coil, thats half the battle. On the other side of the coil, you should have a wire that goes to the ignition plate in the cam cover. Depending on the type of ignition (points or aftermarket electronic), the ignition grounds out the wire that goes to the coil.
