I have a starting problem with my 2002 1200 Sportster I am hoping someone can help solve as the major dealer next to me can't. My Sportster will only start when it wants. The plugs, plug wires, voltage regulator and ignition coil have all been replaced. The Sportster will sometimes turn over but will not fire, if you crank too long will load up with fuel and backfire out of the pipe. When it wouldn't start I could toggle the kill switch 4 or 5 times and it would fire up. Why not replace the kill switch. I took to the local dealer and they replaced the kill switch ($270 labor!) still wouldn't start. After two months at the shop they said it now starts every time. I go to pickup push it outside and it does not start! I toggle the new kill switch about 4 times right in front of the service guy and it fires right up. It is back at the dealer, please help to identify this electrical problem.
