The first thing that comes to mind is the mechanical advance unit. It depends on which electronic ignition was installed in the bike six years ago. Some electronic unit depend on the stock mechanical advance unit while others eliminate it. I'd look at the unit and get the make and model of it. Look it up and see if it uses or eliminates the mechanical advance unit. If it did not eliminate the mechanical advance mechanism, this may be the problem. The units wear out and the ignition timing becomes very erratic. That's the first place I'd check, the ignition timing. Find out what make and model the ignition unit is and go to that company's website. There, you should be able to download the "installation instructions" from their "technical" page on the site. It will tell you how to set the ignition timing with the unit and everything else you need to know about it.
Yes, this is where the passenger foot peg on the left side of the bike goes. There is an arm that clamps onto the round stub on the inspection cover and is afjustable to almost any angle. The right side foot peg support bolts to the end of the transmission and also has an adfustable arm that clamps onto a stub on it. Then the pegs go on the end of the arms. Go to this site and take a look . http://www.bikebandit.com/1975-harley-davidson-flh-1200/o/m770#sch171752 I'm pretty sure they didn't move the peg brackets to the seat tubes of the frame until 1977. If your bike has two holes in a welded-on tab on the rear of the down tubes behind the primary and the transmission, you can use the later model peg brackets. But, if your bike has no holes in the frame or the swingarm for passenger peg brackets, this is the only style you can use and stay original. You could fabricate and weld on tabs to later model peg brackets or use clamp on brackets and pegs.
I guess it runs if you jump it at the starter??? if so, power comes from the ign switch to the trans (neutral start switch, then to the Starter relay, then to the starter. so ck all that wiring an dsee if maybe you knocked something loose, or try to start it in neutral.
