RE: engine misfire

maybe its a bad crank sensor?

my logic is that there is only 2 cylinders, so a skewed crank sensor can still let it run although not correctly, with bad misfiring

i'm also an auto-tech, sucks doesnt it, LOL

RE: engine misfire

hey train, i have a new crank sensor in it and it did not help at all. i bet i have a bad ing box. dont mind buying one if that is truley what it takes. hey haze, clapton was great.. i know how he feels since my son was killed by a hit and run driver, at 20 years old. which was just 1 year ago. boy do i miss him everyday. thanks for the advice guys and anything that pops into your mind that might help please let me know. wish i had a substitue module to try. if it was a car i could borrow one, but dont think the harley shop would do that.
