I am at my wits end....
long story short...
my bikes back cylinder only fires every other rotation, or so it seems...
to put your hand over the exhaust the front pipe is a steady pop pop pop
the backs pipe is more of a pop cough pop cough.
i have spent 6 pages in the general forum going back and forth eliminating EVERYTHING else...
all i can think of is that something in the ignition is causing the back plug to miss every other time
I know NOTHING about 2001 sporty ignition systems... i dont see distributors, or rotors or anything... all i see are wires and the coil... so i dont have a clue how to diagnose something like that. i checked connections, i put in new plugs and wires, i even swapped ports on the coil (after learning about the dual fire setup) to see if half my coil was bad.
I dont see how you time these things, i dont see how any of the ignition works...
so if you can offer me either some advice on what to try or look for...
or else just offer me up a harley ignition 101... then maybe i can figure things out for myself.
if you want more info please visit my other thread at....
