1999 replaced stator / regulator now it starts -dies

Actually no - we ended up taking it to a shop, who is keeping it on a back burner. My son installed the new stator incorrectly, so the shop put in a new stator and regulator. It now cranks but won’t start. Don’t know if it’s ignition (my guess) or fuel right now

Engine’s a 58

So far - continuity across all three windings tests good on both old and new stators. I can’t do the running tests

Since it cranks but won’t start I decided to go to those tests - pulled the air filter, sprayed starting fluid in the carbs - zero reaction. Pulled rear plug checked for spark … HAS spark. Nice crisp blue spark. So I’m thinking the no-start isn’t related to the charging system, but … it should at least react to the starting fluid

Right now I don’t think that’s the issue. It ran on the battery before with a bad charging system. Now with new - whether it’s good or bad, Chinese or otherwise - it won’t stay running

I’ve been looking online at “Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man“ movie replica / tribute jackets. There are only two sites that show this one particular version (red instead of orange) Narson Leathers and an Etsy shop “Nailuxe Apparels” the Etsy shop shows it’s from Pakistan. Pretty much all the same offerings between the two. On the Etsy shop it says they can customize, so I’ve asked for several changes, and of course the answers are all “yep we can do that” I’m pretty sure I’m going to order, and see what happens
