99 fatboy spark problem
Hi everyone thanks for viewing I purchased a 99 fatboy with the carbed evo on Saturday with 24100 miles. Bike ran great for 140 miles I changed the engine oil and primary oil with Mobil 1. Although on the way home I was cruising I'm fifth gear and engine shut off. Checked for spark none found I let it sit for twenty minutes fired right up and run again for two miles. Then again same thing continued this process for ten miles. I found the ignition pickup melted today and feel this is the problem. Sorry I am ordering a manual this week just missing the last little bit of prime riding time this year. Could the melted sensor be the problem or am I fighting a losing battle and I should look člsewhere.

Just wanted to say thanks everyone who offered advice. I installed a older sensor today and just reused the original terminals. Bike broke down again after two miles not sure if I couldn't see it before or what but had spark but found that the Petcock was not feeding fuel unless on reserve. Ordered a petcock from jp today runs great on reserve though just wanted to say thanks and close this. I cleaned my ignition switch and cleaned the grounds to try to prevent future problems.
