    Anybody on? I am having trouble getting my 91 Heritage started. I put in new plugs and it appears to be sparking. There is not any trash in the line because I see gas coming through the carb needle. Could it be an ignition module or cam sensor when the plugs are firing or is it starving for gas?
    Help me out. Thanks, chief

    was it running fine before?

    Sometimes unrelated things happen had a coil go bad during a motor build, it just dumped right after we started the motor after the build.

    Put the old plugs back in see if the same problem occurs or check all the connections and if you have plug covers remove them to make sure they are not touching the plugs and grounding out the spark.

    If you have access to a spare ignition module you could try one.

    Start with checking the connections first and make sure you have enough gas for it to start and run.

    Thanks man-- All connecttions were good. I did put some new plugs in and filled up with a different batch of fuel. It screams now. Back to the road.
