Electra glide won't crank after jump start

SOURCE: bike cranks and wont start

Hi .... Sounds like regulator/rectifier is defective. Fully charge battery and try starting again, place multi-meter across battery and it should show 12.8-14 volts. If it doesn't replace reg/rec unit.

sounds like the starter is bad. if access to it easy for you then it can be removed and taken to your local repair shop and rebuilt. Or try locateing one on ebay.

start of breaking down of HT coil, if breaksdown while warm, leave for a while and start back up, it's HT coil, sounds like you should just carry on and see if it gets worse, then you'll know. unusual for a sudden complete breakdown so you shouldn't be stranded.

SOURCE: My 2002 electra glide classic head light flickers

The voltage regulator is starting to fail. The headlight is flickering with the pulsing of the alternator when the motor is running. If you have had your Harley long enough, you are familiar with the "potato potato" sound when idling. That sound is the result of the 45 degree angle of the cylinders and the flywheel surging, which is absolutely normal. So, when the engine is idling and the alternator is surging in time with the motor, the voltage is surging as well; the voltage regulator is what steadies the power so the bike puts out steady light.

So now we are back to beginning of my answer to you; the voltage regulator is failing and that is what is causing your lights to flicker.

The voltage regulator is mounted on the bottom front outside part of the frame. An easy way to locate it is to get down there and find the oil filter, there is a box there with fins (heat sinks) right there. Change that and you will not have a flickering problem.
