Engine stalling issue 2000 fxdx
Ok guys Im looking for some advice... bike wont stay running. It will warm up fine for a few minutes until warm. Once warm it will run for 30 seconds and then stall regardless if at idle or throttle. At throttle I can feel noticeable power loss for a split second before the stall happens. I do not lose headlight power, gauge lights or any other noticeable power. It will only crank over and not fire until I flip the ignition off and back on, then it will fire up again. So far I have
1. tested battery/charging system (everything checked out)
2. replaced the crank position sensor
3.Plugged in an alternate ignition coil
4.Tested the ignition switch terminals for continuity after the bike died before cycling the key off/on
5. Replaced MAP sensor
I have replaced the petcock with a pingel, so the vacuum actuated petcock is not the issue. It seems to be heat related as the stalling only happens after the heads are warm to the touch. Im running a 95 with a Mikuni 42. This problem happened intermittently on freeway rides for 2 days, and now the bike will not stay running when warm.
Has anyone had any experience with a similar issue?

Well it looks like the cam position sensor might be discontinued. Im having a hard time finding an aftermarket part, and can only find the O rings. If you have any advice on where to find one I would appreciate it
