no start

[linkoln]

started last weekend, was 50 miles away from home. went to start it and would crank but not turn over there was no light from the thunderheart. tried a few time and it sat for bout 30 min and tried again started right up. going to check battery load tmrw.

just because there is enough power to turn over the motor doesn't mean there is enough spark to crank it. definitely check the battery. and, speaking from experience, new batteries are not always worth a shit.

I just had something similar happen a week ago. Some how I got some water in the starter and the bearing rusted and froze up. wouldnt turn the motor over and battery load tested ok. pulled starter, sent to rebuild and am up and running like new.

Battery stll low on load after charging..mut did start..ran down the road on the bike and died..waited for bout 5-10 minutes and start up..drove up and down the road in front of the house to get it to die again but no luck..thinking next it might be the ehc...mfg date on the ehc is 0438.
sux that it cant be checked after it dies..

Do you have any fault lites on the EHC. Look for a thread from Nighttrain on symptoms. He has some good suggestions to check when it quits on you. When it dies is it electrical or does it sound like it's running out of gas? Have you checked the gas cap vent?

i have seen no lights..the when i go to restart the T.H. does not come on...( when the bike start it the T.H. light suppose to flash until it start) while i was searching read bout a member had a bad starter solenoid

bad starter solenoid wont cause the bike to die while riding.

it also not starting at start up...even then i can try a few time and leave it. then try again and starts, where the cam sensor on the 04

if the light was not coming on on your ignition (your first post) then it sounds like you have a problem with the module. Could just be a loose connection as the problem is intermittent.

ill have to ask the guy i got it from...but looks to be the orignal. its the black box. is the nose cone the piece below the air filter

 

[Slider]

... its the black box. is the nose cone the piece below the air filter

Ahh the EHC... It's the only "black box" youd like to leave on the bottom of the ocean.

Yes. Two screws to hold the cover on the 04.

we still have not figured out what the problem is on this big dog . i also have no head light . no power from ehc . i can feed power back threw the head light and it turns on everyting on the bike . when i bought this bike it had problems blowing out the head light like crazy . i used to carry a few with me .
