New here
New on this forum, and just traded a chopper for a ‘90 FLTCU. Just got it home this evening and am looking forward to going through it. First issue is that it will not start. Good battery, good starter relay, seems like it maybe grounding out. Hit the starter button and it clicks. Going to start tearing into it tomorrow. All input welcome.
Thanks,
Fenton

Fully charge the battery and have it load tested, until you do that don`t tell us the battery is good, even if brand new...
Clean up all the electrical connections for the battery and at the relay and starter solenoid, don`t just check to see if they are tight, take them apart and clean them.
If the problem still persists after doing the above, get out your voltmeter, and keep your wallet in your pocket.
Don`t go out and start buying parts.

Grounding out, what does that mean?
