Starter issues...Need some additional advice
First off,,,, I'm back!!! Just picked up a sweet deal on a 1995 FLSTN 22,000 original miles from a widow woman that spent 3 years in probate!!
One major problem it won't start.
Push start... yes it runs!! Mama is tired of pushing!!
Battery was 4 years old ....Got a new one 325cca.. Battery charger is always connected.
Starter spins doesn't engage... Replaced Starter Clutch..nogo
Starter Relay replaced and yes the old one did work... Voltage is a issue. going to try the additional relay setup
Installed push button on starter .. still spins
Replaced ignition switch that was rusty and cleaned all connections... All Grounds and Molex Connectors cleaned
Jumper wire from Battery to starter solenoid and it spins. Additional relay can fix this
Could this be a bad jack shaft? I have searched the hell out of the forums and have give up...Any suggestions would be appreciated

All you need is a 20 amp fused wire going from the positive post to pin 30 on the relay.
Second you say it spins and doesn't engage...
Have you looked in the primary at the starter drive gear and the starter ring gear?
BTW you have AMP connectors not molex on a '95 Softail.

Gonna take the primary cover off tomorrow and see what it is doing. Spent 6 hours on it today and buttoned everything up. Thankfully I didn't fill the primary.
