This problem needs more description as if the diaphragm cover is off the diaphragm and slide should fall right out.

determine if any dtcs are set and if so what ones. Check engine temperature sensor. cHECK RUNNING FUEL PRESSURE ALSO.

You could have poor, dirty, corroded battery and.or starter cables, you could have a similar conditioned ground for the starter. Positive and negative voltage drop tests would prove or disprove this. You could have a misaligned jack shaft assembly. You could have a defective starter. More likely you may also have a burned large solenoid contactor in the end cap of the solenoid.

have you checked your air filter?

On earlier Dyna's, the entire battery tray moves up and down. Since I do not work on the later models, I'm not positive as to how they work. There are usually two bolts that lock and hold the tray in position and one that acts as a jackscrew to raise and lower the battery and the tray. Look on either side of the battery box and you should be able to find the bolts and determine what they do. You are probably going to have to remove the seat as well. You have to on the earlier models. It does make getting to the battery terminals easier. Remove the seat and loosen but don't remove the locking bolts, Use the third bolt to raise or lower the battery tray.

If you're talking about replacing the shifter pawl shaft in the transmission, this is a major job as it not only entails the disassembly of the primary drive including the clutch but also a disassembly of the transmission. You'll need some torque wrenches ranging from 50 to 150 foot pounds that will torque in the left handed direction. You need a way to lock the primary so you can torque the sprocket shaft nut to the 150-165 foot pounds of torque that it requires. I use a locking bar designed for the bike that I'm working on. I would highly suggest that if you are going to do this job yourself, you really need to buy the service manual. The old saying "A picture is worth a thousand words" is true in this case. You can pull the trapdoor of the transmission with the two shafts and gears intact. No need to mess with the trapdoor bearings.

Clutch release cover

There ae a number of things it could be. What it sounds like to me is that the oil is not being pumped back into the oil tank and is collecting in the cam chest. It should be blowing out of your crankcase breather tube as well if your crankcase breather tube is open. Behind the oil pump, there are three holes. One is behind and above the oil pump. This is where the breather tube from your oil tank and the primary comes into the engine. The hole directly behind the oil pump in the middle is the oil return line from the very back end of the primary where the oil from the primary is recirculated back into the engine. The bottom hole behind the oil pump is the crankcase breather. It should have a hose that runs back around behind the transmission and just dead ends in a bracket pointed towards the final drive chain. This hose should be open to vent the crankcase pressure. Have you checked to see if oil is being pumped back into the oil tank? If not, the scavenge gears of the oil pump may not be pumping the oil out of the engine and back to the tank. If this is the problem, you may not have the drive key properly installed in the scavenge gears of the oil pump. Still, oil should be pouring out of the crankcase breather hole. But, this is what it sounds like it's doing to me. The oil is building up in the cam chest for some reason.

You didn't mention what year nor the model of your bike. If the bike is later than a 1990 model, odds are that is does not have the old style "flasher" unit but rather the Turn Signal Microprocessor. If you have self-cancelling turn signals that you do not have to "press and hold" the turn signal switch on, you have the TSM. It's a "black box" that is about a half inch thick, by about three inches long and a inch and half or so wide. Where it's located is dependent on the year and model bike. Just keep looking is all I can tell you. Odds are that it's located under the seat or the dash on the tank.

Good Luck
