I have a starting problems 2006 FLSTCI and just put a 95 big bore kit in with SE 211 cams and now the bike will not start. Trouble shooting we found it has no spark. It had a power commander 3 USB in it and I removed that and still nothing. Any suggestions?

Hi Marc,
The Power Commander only modifies the signal sent from the ECM. Chances are the ECM has burnt out, from what it is impossible to say. When a scanalizer is plugged in, does it show any codes?

My 2006 FXD35 ran fine when put away last November. I have no spark and the fuel pump does not run when I turn the key on and hit the run switch. The engine light icon comes on and goes off as if the fuel pump was working. I have checked all the simple stuff like .fuse, battery and connections. The Power Commander green lights go up and down the scale and show 0 for fuel. I think it could be the ECM. What do you think? I did pull the fuel pump to test it and it turns fine. Since I had it out I changed the filter after 10 years why not.
Hi Tom. Remove the Power Commander and see if anything changes. Also check for trouble codes. You should consider purchasing the electrical manual for your year & model and do more testing before condemning your ECM.

Starting problem with our 94 softtail. Recent ly replaced starter. Sometimes turns rightonver. Others just click clickclick. Best advice?
What you describe is typically caused by a low battery.
Make sure that you are using a quality, fully charged battery and that your battery cables are clean and secure.
If the battery that you are using is in question, you can take it to a local garage to have it load tested.
Suggest performing a full charging system test

Hello Lorna,
Make sure that you are using a quality, fully charged battery and that your battery cables are clean and secure.
HD batteries are best. Yuasa, Spike & Drag Specialties batteries are also better quality than most of what is available.
If the condition of your battery is in question, bring it to a local garage to have it load tested.
Suggest performing a full charging system test.
