Hi everyone. Just bought my first Harley. A 99 Fatboy with an S&S carb. Having great difficulties. Bought the full manual and saw that the book calls for a 12 volt 18 amp battery but the bike has a 6v. Is this the reason for my starting difficulties?

 

I think so its a 12V

 

Im use Deka ETX20L allready 2 years at my FB - all its ok/

 

You're kidding, right?

 

2me? or ts?

 

Are you measuring 6 volts? If so, your battery is toast, buy a new 12 volt battery!

 

Any battery made by Deka.

 

It isn't sure that any will approach because for his bike need 285+ cold cranking amp. Tthat I wrote in my prevous message will approach perf.

 

Any chance you could take a picture of that 6V battery?

1964 DuoGlide Panhead was the last 6V Harley.
