Help needed
Hi all!
I'm wondering if anyone can help.....
I've re-wired my friend's '86 Heritage. She had been abused and neglected for a long time before he got a hold of her.
When he brought her to my garage, she wouldn't start or even try to turn over. There were no electrical signs whatsoever!
I've removed and repaired tons of splices, unsoldered joints and corroded electrical. I've also installed a new ignition switch, new coil, new solenoid, new ignition module and 30 amp main fuse.
When preparing to fire her up, we dropped in the battery and she tried to turn over as soon as we touched the neg cable to it's post.
I assumed I had crossed something at the ignition switch but upon further investigation, the bike still tries to turn over without turning the switch on or puching the start button on the right handle bar. Anyone have any ideas???
I've tried to find a wiring diagram on-line for an '86 FLST but I'm not having much luck. If anyone can help with either a full color diagram or troubleshooting ideas, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

If it's doing it with the ignition switch off, the problem is not with the starter button. First thing I'd check would be the solenoid, and I'd check to see of the starter bendix is engaged with the ring gear.
The best thing would probably be to take it to someone who knows what they are doing.
