There is a loud click when he presses the starter button, 5 The engine spins but won't fire, 6. the engine fires and dies immediately. 7. the rotation stalls at the first compression stroke, 8 there is a loud grinding noise...Since you are blaming people for being baffled by the most vague description possible, YOU tell us what the APPROPRIATE symptom is and people in here can THEN make some suggestions.

This is the second post this week by someone who joined minutes before posting for the first time. And then never is heard from again. That’s why they aren’t getting a lot of help.
Plus anybody else wonder if someone is looking for a way to start a Harley they found with the ignition unlocked but the security set?

You all can't believe this is a real poster, right?

You're not ALL that gullible.

Seriously.
