Hello from Virginia to all. In 2008, I finally got me a Harley. It was a used 1999 Dyna Wide Glide. Love the bike. About a month ago, it went south on me. I was riding down the road about 20 miles from home and it just cut off. About 30 minutes later, it finally started again but only ran for about 2 minutes then died again. About an hour later, it started again and ran for about 2 minutes and died again. No spark. I replace the coil but did not help. I have checked all the wiring including the connector under the cam cover and can not find anything wrong with it. I figure it has to be either the cam sensor or the ignition module. From what I can determine, this is a common problem with the 99+ carburated 88 engines on Dynas. Before I spent $200+ for an ignition module, I was just wondering if anyone has any knowledge of this problem and can throw a few hints or tips my way.
Things to look at 1) the main circuit breaker ,behind the electrical panel, replace it. 2) cam position sensor on the front of the engine case by the oil filter, 3) riding with the enrichener **** pulled out, push it in when the engine warms up, 4) fuel petcock on reserve and you have run the tank dry. Anybody else?
