Won't start.
I have a 1993 Harley Davidson Sportster 1200 that will not start. I've checked the oil level changed the battery and the starter relay. Still no luck. I can hear the relay clicking but doesn't turn the starter over.
Anyone have a suggestion on what might be the problem. It sat up a couple of weeks and ran fine before that. Now it won't even turn over.
Any help would be appreciated.

When I had this similar issue it was the little relay under the seat. It clicked but wasn't making contact internally. After the second one did the same thing I installed a push button on the starter, I also pulled the relay apart and "adjusted" the contacts. It hasn't given me a problem since.

Click that kill switch on the handlebars off and on a few times in case it is getting corroded inside. You said you changed the battery so it wouldnt be that loose neg battery terminal I had a problem with last year. Hope it fires up soon!
