SOURCE: How do I increase the idea on a 98 HD heritage

If you're talking about the idle speed of the engine, there is a small stop screw on the right hand side of the carb. where the cables attach to a round metallic disc. This disc is part of the throttle shaft. The wider it opens, the faster the engine runs. The idle stop screw regulates the postion of the throttle shaft when the carb is fully closed by the cables. Adjusting the screw inwards increases the idle speed.

I hope this is the information you are looking for. If not, please repost. Good Luck!

SOURCE: how to install a starter

First, disconnect the negative battery cable from the battery. Then, drain the oil from your primary. Remove the floor boards, shifter or anything else you need to remove in to remove the outer primary cover. Remove the outer primary cover. Remove the small bolt holding the starter jackshaft in and remove the jackshaft. There is a coupler that connects the jackshaft to the starter motor. If it comes out with the jackshaft, mark it so that you know which way it goes back in. If you cannot get the jackshaft out. continue on and once you get the starter bolts loose, you should be able to work the jackshaft out. When you go to reinstall the starter, make sure you put the jackshaft back in before you tighten the starter bolts.

Now, on the right side of the bike, remove the exhaust system or whatever might be in the way of getting the starter off. Remove the bolts holding the oil tank but don't remove the tank. All you need is a little room that you get by lifting the tank up a bit. There are two large bolts holding the start onto the inner primary. Remove these two bolts and unplug the single wire going to the solenoid and the battery cable from the starter. Now, you can work the starter out from under the oil tank and off of the bike.

SOURCE: 99 Heritage Springer no fuel to carburetor.

Have you checked the vacuum diaphram in the fuel petcock? In 1996, Harley went to a vacuum operated fuel petcock. It has a diaphragm in the backside of it that opens the fuel petcock when the engine is started. These diaphragms get holes in them and the vacuum lines come loose from the backside of the carburetor. Check on both of these problems.

Good Luck
Steve

What's the proper oil level on the dip stick for my springer softail harley and do I check the oil when it's hot or cold.

check when oil is hot(let idle for about 10 mins, or a short ride),level sould be about halfway between marks on stick. your bike only holds about 3 and 1/2 quarts including the filter, pour small amount at a time when topping off.

Can you help with a 2006 heritage springer, 88c, I did my own 10,000 mile oil change, crank, and trani. The fluid level in the oil tank is well above the add level. Dealer gave me all required oil and...

Dealer's usually tell you the amount you need if the bike is completely empty. Take a turkey baster and remove some oil, ride the bike and check the oil level again. I have seen to much oil blow the dip stick out and cover everything with oil and I have seen the oil tank split.
