CHECK FOR A PLAY IN THE TRIANGLE BEARINGS, AIR PRESSURE IN THE TIRE, AND ANY OIL LEAK IN THE FORK OR THE FORK SEAL.

IS THERE A KEY IN THE SHAFT TO CLUTCH GEAR CONNECTION?

TRY TO INSERT A FLASHER RELAY TO THE GROUND WIRE

Hi Tom, the video is pretty good. but you can check another way. Access your battery and start the engine, set your meter to DC 20 volt range if possible if not just DC volts. Connect the meter across the battery terminals if your reg/rectifier is working OK you should get about 13.5 volts at idle this should increase to about 14.5 volts at 4 to 5,000 rpm. In other words as you increase the revs from idle the voltage across the battery should increase until the regulator cuts in at which point the volts should remain fairly stable. Hope this helps and good luck..

I'd look for a major fuse, switch, Relay Melted wires or insulation. So the battery drained overnight? Which indicates a bad short somewhere. I like to use the new led bright flashlight to do a through inspection of the wiring system in the dark.

Check your oil tank level. If it is empty or very low, the oil has seeped by the oil pump check valve and has filled the engine cases with oil. I assume the oil is coming out the air cleaner breather tube? If so, add a quart or so to the oil tank, run the breather hose into a can or bottle, and start it up. Oil will flow out the breather until the cases have been purged. When it stops pumping out refill the oil tank to the proper level. This can happen when the bike has been sitting for a few months or more.

could be a relay, but it sounds more like an internal short in the battery or bad solinoid

blown fuse or bad relay

An FLSTF is not a Road King. Regardless, it's the same motor. The spec is 0.001" to 0.050". A service manual is really helpful for this kind of info.

Starter motors are found on the engine ....normally they are metal and cylindrical in shape ....locate yours by looking at the images of your models starter online.....

Removal instructions

1# disconnect your battery

2# disconnect the starter connection wires ,,negative and positive from the starter motor itself.....

3# unbolt your starter motor ....

And repeat these steps in reverse to fit your new starter

i do not know where you would get that. Probably need to buy a service manual.

TOO much oil likely, run at halfway between ADD and FULL and check it HOT

What are you asking about it????

If the battery is good, all connections good, clean tight then sounds like the starter BUT you can test that also.

battery could be no good so have it charged and load tested and then you may have a key off abnormal drain on the battery due to a shorted regulator or accessorizes. Remove the main fuse to see if it still drains and if so something that should not be key off draining is the probelm amd if the battery still goes flat you need a new battery most likely.

Sorry you have not had an answer yet, I also do not have the expertise for that vintage. Please post a comment when you get an answer so others will get that knowledge.
