harly 79 flh selenoid

#1 Unread post by jaimejames »

I just bought a 79 harley flh and it has two selenoids. Why would it have two? The diagrams all show it with one. The one it should have is working fine, but the one it shouldn't have has a wiring problem and is getting no spark. AHHHHH!

Moving post to tech section -

A solenoid is a mechanical switch that operates when Power is applied to it - They don't 'get spark' per se ... If you could post a picture, or a link to the diagram or a description from the manual you have, or what this thing does, it would be very helpful !!
