there must be a earth connection it should be connected to the motor and frame ,have a look around your battery area there should be one there if it was running ,if it is a project bike then you will have to put in earth wires cheers

If the starter just spins but doesn't turn the engine over, it's probably your "over running clutch" that's bad. You can replace that part and save yourself some money if you know how to do it. But, if you've got to pay shop labor rates, just purchase a new starter. The time involved taking the starter apart and replacing the clutch will eat up any savings you might have realized.

Good Luck

On my 89 heritage flstc, with a 3 quart oil tank, I use just about 2.75 quarts to allow for expansion. Also I scratched a mark on the dip-stick to let me know if it gets too low
