I have been chasing an electrical fault for ages - ignition on try to start - then a drain on all power. Chased every wire on an FI. 1996 RK - just found this on my bike. At I now know what the fault is!!!!! Thanks for posting this video
-
After watching a few of his videos you realize how he came to be "doc" he's onto everything !!! I wish he worked on my bike. Thanks again.

Can't belive Low Country brings in Evo work. Most dealers won't touch early Twin Cams.

I just replaced the ignition on my 91 Evo 1200 Sportster..the bike never gave me any trouble in oven 15 year's...just died last week on the way home...63$ and about a half-hour she's running...I can't complain the bike is 30+ year's old..this is the first time I've ever had any issues with it . I do all my own work on all my car's truck's and of course my bikes...
-
Doc, I love when you talk about something I've never heard of!! Always love to learn new stuff!
-
Love the attention to detail ... I always have mine serviced at my local H-D dealership here in south jersey. Thanks for the helpful tips. Enjoy your day

I discovered this years ago on my 98 Softail. Didn't leave me stranded, when I changed the cam I noticed the milky crap, the stuff was completely gone from the ignition. It's funny this video came up for me, just yesterday I had to show the owner of the 92 Sportster I'm working on how his is all melted away.
-
Nice I had this exact thing happen and didn't know what happen till I hear him say about the milky substance
-
Nice to see some information on older rides 👍✌️
-
I would have liked to see the repair done
-
I don’t have an older bike, but this is a great tip for those who do. Another great job. Thanks
-
Been there before. It's not fun being on the side of the road, wondering, is it the fuel, spark plugs, or any other thing. Finally found it after testing every other thing.
-
Thank you so much Doc! You just saved me hours of work on my ‘99 sportster! Protect this man at all costs!
-
Thank you very much for this video mate. Ive recently had this start happening and initially thought cam seal and where the hell is the water contamination coming from but videos like this make things so easy. Please keep it up with everything you can. Cheers
-
Thanks for keeping us running, Doc.
-
Awesome tip Mike, top notch video as always!
-
Great job, you are definitely a professional.
-
Thanks again Doc. My 1999 FATBOY is showing signs of this same issue. I’m getting ready to rebuild the carburetor I’m going to change this also while I have it down. Great channel Doc. I really enjoy all your tips.
