Default RE: RE:68 electra glide trouble

I did the same thing two years ago, go to as many H-D dealers as you can and find an original shop manual they have great wiring diagrams and you can use the correct color!
ORIGINAL: dino1

Thanks for all the ideas posted and all that looked.

All right guys I'm going to need some feedback now. I tore the mother down. I'm pulling the motor and trany out, mostly clean-up and polish. Going to have the heads looked at? But mostly a rewire job. The bike had all black wires and nothing (gen., neut., oil lights) hooked-up. If any one knows where I can pull-up a more simple wiring diagram would be lots of help. I've done this before, but many years ago, 60 FLH. Never elec. start. Finding primary cover before oil tank? Any tricks or short cuts?

Wanted to ask all the shovelheaders and early models, If I start to crome parts is this going to take value from the bike?

Going with a s&s carb. Think this has been my biggest trouble. Do I have to change from stock handle bars?
