Do not use air cleaner filter oil on the Harley-Davidson paper/wire mesh air filter element. c.

Check ignition fuse

There are no specs for front fork travel. The forks will travel from full compression to full extenison. Use Harley type E fluid.

You have a wasted spark system and you are getting fuel. Probably you need new spark plugs as even if the old ones look good and might spark out of the engine it appears they will not spark properly under compression pressures and the fuel that remains unburned is ignited when the spark plug fires on the exhaust stroke when there is not pressure and therfore teh backfires.

If the starter spins but the engine does not turn over, usually it's a bad starter drive (Bendix). On the 88 year model there is a solenoid that pulls the starter drive into engagement with the ring gear on the outer clutch drum. Inspect this linkage. Look for a broken pin that holds the return spring on (return spring in the bottom of the primary) or a broken "Y" piece that moves the starter drive outward. If the starter bendix is bad, it will turn freely in either direction while holding the shaft from turning. It should turn freely in one direction and lock up in the other. This test is not conclusive as you cannot put the same amount of resistance on the drive as your engine can. The little nut on the end of the starter shaft has left handed threads on it. Chuck the starter drive in a vise with aluminum jaw protectors on it and remove the nut. The starter drive (Bendix) will slide right off. Buy a good replacement, not the cheap Chinese junk. Accel or OEM

If the starter turns, but there is no battery power reaching the headlights and no battery power reaching the ignition system there is a fault in some part of the electrical system used by both headlights and the ignition system, but not the starter motor. Check all the fuses, if any are bad or dirty replace them then try again, then check the new fuses to see if they have 'blown' if they have you have a serious short-circuit in the wiring or other electrical component, replace the fuses again and remove all the headlight and tail bulbs and try again.
