Unfortunately he hasn't found the cause of the problem, so bear with us while we ask questions and try to get an impression of what may be wrong. If we ask a question, please answer it, don't just skip past it!

 

I'm not getting impression I'm just saying and I hate the face that he don't want to spend 175 to just have harley look throw it

 

Have you checked to see if there are any trouble codes?

 

How much time are you having after start up before it quits?
Before cranking, with switch and kill switch on, you should be able to hear the fuel pump in the tank building pressure.

 

he waiting about 3 secs and starts right back up u hear the pump trun on

 

I'm sure you can appreciate that it is difficult to diagnose problems over the internet. We'll do our best! Rather than go to a dealer, do you have a Harley independent in your area? Shouldn't cost so much to visit him and he may be able to identify the problem quickly. Sometimes an agonising problem can evaporate when an expert takes a look!

 

Will it die if you just let it idle?

An engine stalls when there is no fuel, or, no spark to ignite that fuel.

Ignition coils can fail completely or they can be flaky. The bike will start right up, but load the engine and the coil just fails to do it's job and the bike stalls.

Since the engine dies completely, I'm betting it's the coil...but...you could have a plug wire that is shorting to the frame...I had a snowblower drive me nuts once doing the same thing your bike is doing...it would start right up, but as I used it, the plug wire would bounce just enough to short the frame and kill the engine.

I would start by making sure the electrical connectors for the coil are clean and solid. I that doesn't fix it:

I would remove the plugs and make sure they look good.

I would then remove the spark plug wires and test them.

I would then test the coil.

Find out the exact coil model for your bike, then search YouTube for videos on how to test the coil/wires. I would doubt the good test numbers vary too much from coil model to model, but maybe someone uploaded a video of your exact coil.

You'll need a volt meter; super cheap at Harbor Freight.

PS> An auto parts store may be able to test the wires/coil for you for free...and a small cycle shop might also...I'm sure a Harley dealer would charge more to test than the parts cost; so stay away from them.

 

If no problem is found with the coil/wires/plugs, then I'd be looking at the fuel pump.

As we all know, when you turn on the ignition, the pump builds pressure...if you lose that pressure at any point, the injectors stop spraying and the bike dies.

 

Try holding up on the fuel tanks connector next time it happens.. If the motor starts running again replace the fuel line that goes to the intake manifold.
