Author Message   Shapem2 Posted on Wednesday, July 08, 2009 - 09:51 pm:        Hey - Looking for some advice. Lost spark last week, worked backwards from the plugs to coil, to sensor plate, finally removed sensor plate to find the timing gear that controls the ignition isn't turning when I hit the starter. I have compression in both cylinders. What does this mean? Is motor FUBAR? What do I do now? 2000 M2 25K miles   Buellistic Posted on Thursday, July 09, 2009 - 08:45 am:        Shapem2 Looking at the FACTORY PARTS BOOK(you should also have the FACTORY SERVICE MANUAL your YEAR AND MODEL), what is the factory name and part number for the component in question ??? MAY THE LONG LASTING BUELL BE WITH YOU !!!   Shapem2 Posted on Thursday, July 09, 2009 - 09:28 am:        Buellistic - thanks for the help. I havent had an issue this bad yet - part and service manual are on the way - local harley store didnt have them in stock. I have the Sensor plate removed from the cam case (old sensor plate electronics looked melted). I put in a new sensor plate - still no spark then realized the timing cup/timing rear does not turn at all when starter is pushed. Next step is to remove the cam case cover but I'm wondering if the problem is isolated to inside the cam case or if I have bigger problems like a busted crank.   Spiderman Posted on Thursday, July 09, 2009 - 09:36 am:        remove the cup and see if the driver IE the cam moves before ripping into it too deep.   Shapem2 Posted on Thursday, July 09, 2009 - 09:54 am:        Spiderman, Cup was removed last night, the cam it was attached to does not move.   Spiderman Posted on Thursday, July 09, 2009 - 10:31 am:        and you are sure the pistons are moving correct? If not pull the primary first, it is a lot easier and you can see if the chain is broke, crank broke, etc... then pill the cam side and check thee crank and cam drive gear...   Shapem2 Posted on Thursday, July 09, 2009 - 05:05 pm:        Spiderman, thanks for the help - Yes I am 100% sure the pistons are moving.   Spiderman Posted on Thursday, July 09, 2009 - 11:19 pm:        pull the cam case, but I would also pull the pirmary cover for S&G (ships and giggles)   Buellistic Posted on Friday, July 10, 2009 - 09:45 am:        Shapem2: If you pull the cam gear cover, "BE SURE" to take the VALVE SPRING tension off the cams by removing the rocker arm covers ... The reason"i" say this is "i" have a son-in-law that is FAA certified to work on airplanes and he did just that ... Need less to say "i" would not fly on any airplane that he touched ...   Psycrow Posted on Tuesday, July 14, 2009 - 09:51 pm:        Check the Safety and Ignition Relays under the seat. Psy
