I looked at the EHC and when I switched on the power there was a yellow led and a green led lightning up. After I tried to start there was a red led blinking as well.
Your EHC is performing correctly. Rule that out. As others have said check your ignition module

His bike has lost compression on both Cylinders at same time, as well as blowing out of the intake rather than sucking...this is cause from failure on the Pinion side of the motor. It's very possible the Pinion gear key failed and threw it out of time, or the pinion shaft itself.

That sound about right, but the lack of compression or starting has me thinking that it should have fired and then failed. Happened on a mates HD last year, he had an S&S 124, stripped the the keyway in the shaft, big job lots of $.

He was riding it down the road and it just stalled. He then could not get it to start again. Yes it's a big job, but hopefully for his sake, not a lot of $$.
How's everything over in Australia Jeff?

Hi everyone,
just want to update you on my K9. The piston gear nut got loose so the piston gear key failed or broke and threw it out of time and also damaged the crank shaft and the push rods. :bang::angry::bang:
Now it´s going to be lots of $$$$$$$$$.
I really want to thank Andrew for his support and time regarding helping me out finding the problem. You´re the best! :up:
Hopefully we´ll find a way to work this out and I´m really looking forward meeting up with you in Sweden.
We really need to document your first European trip on the forum with a lot of pictures.

Absolutely Dragan!! :D
And to correct any confusion, it's actually the Pinion gear, Pinion shaft, Pinion nut :2thumbs:
