Starter button
Just wondering if anyone can help. I just replaced the cam sensor on my 97 Road King EFI. I don't know what happened, but, now she will only run with the starter button pushed. She'll rev up, and everything. As soon as I release the button, she dies. I've swapped relays around and nothing changes. HELP ME!!!!!! Thanks,

It would only fire up if you tapped on it with a small hammer, end of a screwdriver, lighter or something like that. It would fire and run good sometime, but other times it would just crank and crank. But when you would tap on the sensor it would fire up every time. So I changed it.
No one has any ideas? Help, please!!! I'm losing riding time.

Yeah, you can hear it running. Can even rev it up. So, yeah I'm sure. But as soon as you let go of the button, everything stops.

Does the starter disengage by itself once it starts to run? It honestly sounds like something wiring related in the Run/Stop & Start switch assembly, but I've never heard of anything like that. Does the Run/Stop switch still work like it should?

When you turn on the ignition switch and run switch (not pressing starter button), do you hear the fuel pump run?

I dunno. Maube you know what you are talking about, I am not there. But it sounds like you don't. But if you want to you can learn. Of courcse you can tell me to F'off which may or may not be the right choice.
But lets discect the electrical portion of this. Bike runs as long as starter is engaged. I tend to think you are f'ed up and have no mechanical ability. Again I could be a ahole. Again, this could be a chance to learn. How fing knows.
It fires when the starter is turning over the engine. You keep it up, my belief is next thread will be asking us how to replace starter, if dealer doesn't take over.
To my knowledge the only thing the starter button does is engage the starter. We should not enable him. Get to what the real problem is

Lets stop here. Bike runs as long as starter button is held in.

Yeah, you are an a'hole. And I know more about engines, than you do about spelling. I was just trying to find a little help. That's what this is supposed to be about. I've kept my bikes running, by myself for years. Without the shops. So, don't try to treat me like a dumbass that doesn't know anything. So, yeah, go to hell. The problem with this kinda site is people like you, who thinkthey know everything. Go back and work on your spelling, if you don't want to be of any assistance that's cool. But keep your opinionsto yourself, unless you want to help. I'll be riding in a day or so on my own work. Not the stealership. So yeah, F-OFF.
