Default firing order question
Does anyone know the firing order on an 08 fxcw? I am putting my ignition and coil back on and I don't want to get the plug wires screwed up.

Don't really know but if you get it wrong it should be an easy fix.

You have 50 - 50 chance of getting it right. If it doesn't start, try switching the wires......I am just guessing.

If you are in a blue state, the firing order is last in, first out.

Wait, I remember now. It's either 1-2 or 2-1. Hope that helps.
