Default 1999 Switch didn't help.

Well, I changed the ign switch out with a new one and it quit running again the other day. Man! I have replaced the main breaker, ign switch, cleaned the crank sensor, checked ALL the wire conections and wiring, filled the fuel tank, It has gotten better but it still will quit on me going down the road. Any more Idea's?

Specs: 1999 ultra classic. 35000 miles. Never had this problem before this spring. Just quits running. I shut the kill switch off and turn it back on. Once the light goes out I hit the starter and it starts right back up. Might run a half mile or might run half a day. The lights and everything else still keeps working. It doesn't sputter at all it just shuts down. In fact I can just pull the clutch in, flip the kill off then on and start it up and just keep going. Weird !

Sounds like a problem with the kill switch.

I know nothing of the subject but there was another thread with the same problem that ended up being the lean angle sensor? Whatever that's worth
