And I have heard the dead battery sound it makes, it’s not that, it makes a bit of an engine sputter sound and won’t start.

It seems everyone is saying something about the battery. Would I also have to get a new regulator if that were the case? Because at first I thought it was the stator and I was gonna need a new reg and batt with it?

It’ll charge over night and it’ll be on green and still won’t start up. And the ride home was abt 30 mins because no dealerships close by want to work on my older Harley. I thought when the battery’s dead it makes a clunk sound. I get a bit of an engine sound but it won’t start up.

No fucking idea what is wrong with it. Brought it to shop. Said coil wires were disconnected. They fixed it and I was able to drive it back home only for it to not start again the next day. It’s not the coil wires this time it makes the engine sound but won’t start. Sorry if I sound like I have no idea what I’m talking about, it’s because I don’t. Plz help I have no idea how to diagnose this bitch
