Having problems with my 07 Fatboy. It has a hard time starting when it gets warmed up. Doesnt happen every time but is getting more frequent. When it happens I can spray starting fluid in and still get nothing. It is leaking primary fluid at the front of the primary/engine block at the point where the wires come from the regulator.
What have you done as far as maintenance in the last year, just trying to figure out a couple of things to check obvious stuff like spark plugs, wires, battery. More troubleshooting all ignition stuff crankshaft position sensor ,MAP sensor , coil , etc.
If your pretty confident it's coming from the voltage regulator preform a ground test and bleed test. May want to check the stator wiring also and change the primary gasket and oil
Changed battery and crank position sensor within the last month, spark plugs were changed a couple months ago. Very strange and can't find anything like it online. When it acts up the motor just spins and every once in a while it will pop like its going to start but then back to spinning. Then after awhile it will fire off.
