SOURCE: I have a 2003 Fatboy that has an unusual idle.

Hello Jim...
Ok, the ignition is stock...
**Have you removed the ignition cover and looked at the ignition sensor? Is resin dripping down the plate? IF so, replace the sensor, but that may or may not rectify this problem.

**YOU CAN Also remove the sensor plate and clean/inspect the pickups on the back of the sensor plate. Be sure to mark/scribe the plate prior to removal so you are back to the same timing.

**Also, check to make sure the


I also need to ask, -does your bike BACKFIRE upon Acceleration?
-does it BACKFIRE upon Deceleration?

Weak or failing ignition coil and/or module will cause this, as will a flooding carb.

If the bike is losing ALL power, I'm talking about dash lights, headlight, tail light, ALL lights, it's probably something tripping the main breaker.

This is a possibility. The header says you're working on a 1979 XLH 1000cc Sportster. This is not a 250cc bike and it takes a good battery to start and engine of this size.

Good Luck
