09 xb12 SS. Wont start

[Kevin]

Hey guys i run in to some trouble with my bik it won’t start, and if it starts it runs like crap I’ve tried everything I know and can to fix it but it doesn’t help. It back fires through the inlet both pops and fire it doesn’t take the gas very well at all. I just put in new inlet seals spark plugs wires I’ve fix ore changed every ground wire on the bike to no help. It seams like if I test the coil with emcdroid it fires a spark on both sides no problem. But if I use the start button no spark come on the plugs ore only some times any ideas to help

Have you tested the CPS?

 

[Kevin]

Im very New to the buell World så Im lerning as fast as i Can I font know What cps stands for

 

[Ajapai]

Same problem here

 

[Kevin]

Okay that sucks. Does anyone know if the tilt sensor ore kick stand sensor cuts the spark

 

[Kevin]

Cps crank position sensor ? O

 

[ocgreenmachine]

how does your fuel pump sound?

Welcome Kevin , Glad you made it over here, Gotta get that 09 running, These guys are good .

With no information to go on, all we can do is guess, just like you're doing. We could get lucky?

Sounds like you are saying you test for spark at the plug wires and have it, but when they are reconnected it coughs and sputters while cranking (but won't start). Yes?

Did it run well before you changed the intake seals?

Do the free and easy stuff first.
1) Get the service manual free .pdf download. It will have all the test procedures in it.
2) Perform a spark plug self cleaning procedure.
3) Remove the airbag bottom plate and re-check your work.
4) Make sure there is actually good fuel in it






*As a total guess,I think the spark plugs are fouled.

 

[Kevin]

Fuel pump sounds good No change on it

 

[Kevin]

Thank you. Yeah i hope i Can get some expert help and get her running sweet again

 

[Kevin]

Cooter . What info can i give to help better. It ran bad thats Why i changed the seals and plugs and wires. But it made no change to it. Self clean is done no help. If I take out the plugs but connect the to the wire and do a emcdroid test there is spark but if I the use the starter button there is no spark ore only sometimes spark. I have tested and looked my work over a couple off times should be all good. It will maybe start if I leave it alone for some time then I can fire it up once but the it runs bad back fires and then eventually stall the won’t restart

 

[Kevin]

I got videos of it if it helps

I think the piston rod's stuck in the drive shaft. Either that, or the carburetor is rusted out.

3419, I doubt it, Kevin has a awesome bike .

Its a quote from an old movie. Lunatic will probably nail it.

 

[Kevin]

No i didn't move the motor wires where marked before I toke them of so they are in the same spot. Spark plugs are ngk I’ve all so tested a new set original Harley there is no change in its behaviour. I went though and double checked everything I have done and it is good. I have not tried putting fuel down the tb tho. Fuel pump does as it has all ways done so and sounds good. I’ll try putting fuel down and se what it does. Thank you for your input

 

[Kevin]

I just tried to put fuel Down the TB. Its dosent fire up at all no change

 

[Cooter]

"if I the use the starter button there is no spark ore only sometimes spark"
Then why are you messing with fuel?

"I got videos of it if it helps"
Yes, that would help.

Have you downloaded the manual yet?
Have you tested the CPS yet?

 

[Kevin]

I know it was just wort a shot. Can i uploads videos here ore ? Yeah i have the manual. No Im going do look at cps today.
