Hi, Anonymous you may have a faulty starter motor, bench test the starter with a 12-volt battery if you get a negative or poor function result, perform the following procedures: 1. Decontaminate and undercut the armature commutator segments as necessary. 2. Check segments with an ohmmeter, probe each one and the segment next to it for shorts. 3. Take the armature to a professional and have it tested. 4. Test the field coils, and the brush plate with an ohm-meter for opens, shorts or grounds. 5. Replace brushes if less than 0.438" It is generally cheaper to overhaul-refurbish a starter motor than buying a new one.

Hi, Anonymous no matter how many times you try to bleed a brake system you can end up with a spongy lever/pedal because there is always a handful of air bubbles that absolutely refuse to be evicted from an airline, depending on the angle of the dangle, using conventional purging methods. You have 2 options: 1. Back bleed hook up a vacuum pump at the caliper and suck out the trapped air bubbles. 2. Pressure bleed requires special equipment that most reputable shops will have and is guaranteed to get all air out.

Did you check your front belt pulley? These pulleys are made of relatively soft cast iron as compared to the final drive gear. This is so that the easily replaced and relatively inexpensive front pulley wears before the difficult to replace and expensive final drive gear wears. The pulley will wear in the splined inner bore and will get loose on the final drive gear. Then transmission oil will run out of the pulley and down the inner primary. This is because of the lose of pressure on the "Quad" ring behind the pulley spacer. This may be your problem.

Another mistake a LOT of people make when replacing any seal is putting the seal up dry. On the inner primary seal, you want to put a bit sealer compound around the outer edge of the seal where it goes into the case. Although there are a lot new sealants out there, I still prefer good Permatex non-hardening. Once you get the seal in and straight, oil the inner seal surfaces and the bearing race. If you put the seal up dry, you start the engine, the mainshaft turns about 1000 rpm. This will burn up the delicate rubber lips on the seal almost instantly because of friction before the oil can get to the seal. You MUST lubricate the seal or it WILL burn up before you can blink an eye.

Also check the position of the inner primary bearing race. It must be 0.100" from the final drive gear. If it's way out of position, the seal may not be riding properly on it.

If you are in doubt about whether the transmission is leaking or the primary, refill the primary with a quart of automatic transmission fluid, the red stuff. It will work long enough for you to determine whether it's the transmission leaking or the primary leaking. If it's the transmission, check the front belt drive pulley for wear, You'll usually find that the large nut that holds it on is loose.

Good Luck
Steve

Not likely but you could better check part numbers with a Harley parts person.
