SOURCE: How do I hotwire my 78 shovel head?

Run a wire from the postive side of the battery to the top side of the coil. There should be two white wires on the top side of the coil and a black wire on the bottom. Once there, you can kick start the bike. If you want to use the electric starter, pop the rubber boot off starter solenoid and jump from the large top lug to the small lug in the middle to engage the starter.

Or, you can purchase an aftermarket switch and change out the switch. You need a 6-lug switch for you 78.

SOURCE: looking for oil line diagram

I have a diagram of the oil line routing for a Shovelhead. I cannot send it to you via this forum because it has no means of sending an "attachment". If you'll contact me directly at [email protected] I will send you a copy of the drawing in a jpeg file attachment. Remind me of what you need as I get lots of request for various information.

Good Luck

How do I wire up my dyna ignition on a 1989 shovel head

I strongly recommend getting a quality shop manual.
They have very detailed wiring diagrams that will help you a great deal. For a really nice, quality diagram, take the manual to a copy and printing service and have them run a copy of your desired diagram. Have them enlarge it as big as you like, and then have them put a clear lamination over it to keep it safe and clean when working with it.

Re-wired the 1981 FXWG Harley Davidson Shovel head. There is still no power to anything. Need a wiring diagram.

My 1980 Harley FLT shovel head is making louder then normal sounds and seams to get hot. I think maybe oil pump?

Shovel head lifters tend to wear out. Check your adjustment first. Shovels also run on the warm side. Does it idle good? If not, check for intake leaks.

79 Shovel Head backfiring and running rich

the red light is for static timeing it doesnt mean your unit is good as far as the switches it was running good up untill now there probably where they need to be but all that aside id do a resistance check on coil and spark plug wires if that checks out check connections for ignition module some installers get lazy and tape wires together they should be solderd and shrink tubed if all is good you need a new ignition mod
