You dont think right!
Anyone with ounce of intelligence or worked on harleys would know what I meant

So I'll explain to you. Cpk is crank position sensor. It monitors a spot on crank as it it rotates. Has an AC output. Goes to ignition module gray connector

You SAID crank, NOT cps or Crank Position sensor, editing after the fact does not absolve you of your continued gibberish.
NO ONE knows what you're' saying 90% of the time so don't try to come off as a normal person that simply made a typo, your 30000 posts prove otherwise

To the Op-- please learn to ignore the "expert".
Don't just replace stuff. Test it and replace if bad.

Does check engine light come on? If not can mean bad ignition. Positive on pin 4 from light and ignition module provides ground

If you have after market ignition read on what to expect

Some of the difficulties using Harleys procedures is you don't have a break out box

Have you checked for codes through the dash which is easy. You can also jumper the pins in the data connector and count flashes for more.

Well guys, i'm pleased to say my perseverance paid off and it was nothing more than a bit of corrosion on an earth cable. The only one i hadn't managed to clean as it is partially tucked behind the neutral switch, so i bit the bullet tonight and managed to get it off and clean it up. Fired up straight away ! Thanks for all the help, much appreciated.

You are talking about one of the big grounds? I am surprised since it was cranking over. Interesting. The ignition module has two ground wires, not sure where they go, in the black connector, are you talking about them? Little wires?

Always glad when people let us know. There threads are around forever and people can google it in the years to come.
