If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Look for a nipple on carb #2.
 
ok so i ended up finding it at the front top of carb #2, but i get it all back together and it turns over weak, but if i jump over the solenoid it turns over fast and fine, but its not firing, it does have spark but not trying to run, i didnt get a couple of pretty loud pops out the exhaust i guess from loading up, this bike has been a complete nightmare........
 
So it's a slow crank with the button but fast if you jump the big terminals on the solenoid? That certainly sounds like a solenoid that's going to me. I hear some of the lawn tractor ones are a perfect fit and really cheap.

Is it backfiring or no? Sounds like your timing might be off. Look at my pic in the earlier post. You can probably get pretty close by eye. See how the bottom edge of the left pickup, if you extend it, cuts through the top of the screw in the lower left. The Dyna should have included a static timing procedure.
 
Sorry that should of said I DID get a couple of loud pops out the exhaust. That was after several times of turning it over.
 
i think you will find the nipple for the vacuum tube is on carb no.3. if you have left that open that will cause your popping and lack of starting.
you may want to put your battery on charge for a while, all that messing and cranking may have drained it a bit, causing your slow cranking.
check ALL those ground wires are good and tight, and CLEAN
