I have had trouble with the celiniod and ignition and have replaced both. when I did , the engined turned iver twice and then ... wlll it seems that that the crank isn't turning iver the motor. I don't know why anything is happing, concidering that there are are no obvios issues in the primary case. All the bike does is spin the chain and nit pick up the pistons. I have looked at the compensansating cluch and nothing willl turn the motor. this is a 1000cc ironhead . I connot see anything wrrong. what could be the cause. The battery, celliniod are new. I can't figure out what could be causing the engine not to engage. I never heard an audible sound nor have I SEEN ANY INDICATION OF ENGINE FAILURE. WHAT COULD BE THE PROBLEM? HOW DOES THE CONPENSATOR CLUCH WORK?
