Hi all, Well Ethel let me down!

first off she is a 01 FXD carb Twinky 88, runing a Crane Hi4 tc ignition. i was riding her last weekend and she was flying & all was perfect.

I get home check her over as i normally do, & front non stock pipe is broke in half, between mount and head, i unbolt that falls apart crack is right around tappered muffler. no worries, get out the stock pipes that have sonic slip on's, few bits missing but i get them. put it all on but while putting rear nut to the lower head bolt on rear pipe i drop the nut and the bugger disapears between gearbox top & starter . but everything else fine & as i was entered to race next day Saturday & it was friday night when i got stock pipe on. i went to fire her up, to heat up system & test ride, then i would retention everything next morning. but the bitch would not start, she cranked over strong but would not fire. & i see this red Icon light on on left side between 40KPH & 60KPH & slightly to the right of the two speeds but on top left side of speedo. it stays on does not flash. i pulled plugs put them into there leads layed them on the heads turned her over & no spark. took plug out float bowl plenty of fuel. took filter off & excellerator pump squirts fuel. so its ignition. but what part? thats what i need to know?

thanks for any help.

 check that you have not  squashed the H1-4 wires on the front pipe mount or any where else  or any loose wire's on coil etc, the H1-4 has & idiot red light on the unit itself on the module this should flash when you crank her over  if not she is stuffed , make sure you earth the spark plugs when testing  or you will backlash the system,

 so she is called COLD ETHEL @ the moment,    ( Alice Cooper song

Borrowed this from hdforums.com

You want to unplug connector 6 and measure it there.

 hi John i stuffed up Speedster would be right on the money ( crank sensor),    just put a new 1 in her would be best as she has done a lot of work,       i realy miss you on sat @ the races as i top  qualified  but did not get my by run as even number in the field 9 entered , 8 raced  bugger ,                             the Dyna ended-up doing a 10.055 sec pass @ 135.47 mph & i broke out on my dial in of 10.150 sec , 

let us know if its the crank sensor,   sounds like

Thanks for that Speedster, & thanks to you & Bob for your help.

i have not had time to get to order a new sensor. probably will today.

Bob thats a great tme & speed from that dyna m8. not far off a 9, if you had more pass's on it you would have ran 9's. what was your 60ft times?

 1.630 60 ft , i need to get a 1.5 something , i'am out there on sat  for the test & tune .

Ordered the part, get it next week.
