Ironhead No click

[HarleyAsh]

So......I have a new starter relay a new starter solenoid, I bridged across the live on my battery to the live on my starter relay but still no click? it was mentioned to me about the electronic ignition but I do not know how to test this? the bike is turning over but not firing and I have no spark at the plugs. I have tested the coil and that seems to be fine as do the HT leads. I am now pulling my hair out as to why it is not firing, so if anyone can through any advice my way I would be very happy

What year bike is it?

if the motor is turning, then the starter is working.

step one: check for spark.
Pull one of the spark plugs or use an inline tester.

if there is spark, then it's likely a fuel issue.

if no spark remove the points cover and check if you have points or an electronic upgrade.

Next step will depend on which ignition system you have.

Jumping bat + to the relay red will not create a click.
When the start button is enabled and pressed the black wire energizes the relay coil and connects red to green.

Can you tell us exactly what ignition you are set up with? and what you did to time it?

It has electronic ignition. I did not set up the timing, it was running fine but there was some loose wire in the switch control and I made a mess of some soldering which started my problem

Was the wirinig problem related to the stop/run switch or push button?
With the keyswitch on ignition and the stop/run switch on run, check the white coil wire for power.
