1996 Sportster 1200 crank/ no start
Hi guys. I have been working on my own bones for about 7 years now, and I am completely stumped on this one... I have a 1996 Sportster 1200C. When I got it, it had been sitting in a barn for 4 years. I cleaned it up, replaced the starter, battery, ignition coil, plugs, wires, and cleaned out the fuel tank and installed a new petcock. All of this was done last summer/ fall, and it ran after all that. When I went to start it this spring, all it would do is keep on cranking, but not start. Here is the rundown of what I have found at this point:
battery is good
Starter is engaging and cranking
engine is getting spark (spark tester)
engine is getting fuel (spark plugs are wet with fuel)
Spraying with carb cleaner doesn't affect starting
has s&s super e carb that is set to base settings
Any help is greatly appreciated. I'm hoping to be able to fix this without spending a ton of money.
