Please dont feel pressured to make a video a week , your videos are worth waiting for because of the quality Mr. Baxter . Thank you .

Man I wish your shop was in my neck of the woods. It refreshing to see a guy that not only knows what they are doing but actually has a passion for it. Much respect for a business owner/operator that treats his costumers bikes like they were his own. Well done Mr. Baxter and thank you for sharing your hard earned knowledge.

Fantastic demonstration Kevin. These are the challenges/mysteries many of us home mechanics/builders call the Gremlins… With the right amount of skill/knowledge/patience/tools you’ve just proven, once again, that any problem can be discovered. Thanks from Canada….love your vids.

Great detective diagnostic work Kevin. Takes tons of knowledge and patience to do this and you most definitely possess both of these traits! Not many would have viedoed this. You made it understandable and interesting. Thank you.

Kevin this was awesome. It addressed content that to my knowledge has never been broached.

Kevin, you're awesome and I love your videos. I refer many people in my country to your channel to learn from. That's high quality content right there. Thank you for all the effort you put into making this.

You Sir are an absolute engine genius. Hats off to you. Can't wait to get my bike in with you for my build. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

this is so far beyond the old "set the points with a matchbook" days. fuel, air & spark, all at the right time.

This is a very well produced video and much respect for Kevin's knowledge and skills.

Marvelous step by step diagnostic procedure!! As a technician in the railroad industry, I can appreciate your directed process! Throwing parts at a problem is easy, unless you are the one paying for it!!!

And THAT is why I don't cringe at "exorbitant" labour costs... I have a pretty clear idea of the mechanical concepts involved in a combustion engine - but not a clue as far as the electronics aspects and diagnostics are concerned. Thanks for another fantastic video Kevin! I always find your explanations so full of detail, and yet still very simple and clear. You would have made a fantastic teacher! I've learned so much from your channel and I want to thank you for that. Cheers, from South Australia. 👍🇦🇺👍🇦🇺

Please do more of these diag videos. This was fascinating to watch.

Big fan of the diag videos! Very informative and perfect explanations. Thanks for sharing!

Your ability to articulate a concept is immense.

This is my type of shows!!! Keep with the good work! Thanks again for the that slice of wisdom 💪

Excellent information as usual! It's fascinating to see the process of what I would call deep dive diagnostics, and to get a glimpse of what the "brains" of these electronically controlled systems are thinking during various malfunctions. Greatly appreciate everything you do to keep us informed and educated!

Very concise! Thanks a bunch! Never too late in life to learn something new. Keep up the great and helpful videos!

Every video you post is very detailed and informative! Great channel!!

Great explanation on that I’m in the automotive world and diagnostic is half the battle I’ve spent days on trying find one bad ground

Outstanding explanation / demonstration.

Awesome technical skills! 👍 interesting to watch your videos. Thanks!

Excellent description and demonstration! Now to change the ECM and get the proper tune re-loaded for that engine combo....

Thanks for another great video Kevin. Interesting to watch you work your way down the diagnostic path and arrive at a correct conclusion. I hope I have similar success diagnosing the starting system on my '85 FXRP. Battery tests out good, but the motor won't turn over fast enough to start it. Will be using diagnostic procedures from the service manual. NOT gonna throw parts at it yet!! Don't fret if you don't do a video every week. It's not like you don't have anything else that needs doing.

Well done👍. Many shops and tech would have thrown new parts at this problem hoping to find the answer. Thanks for showing it is a step by step problem solving process that takes time and understanding.

Fascinating Kevin! Thanks.

Amazing knowledge you have. This is why paying a professional is worth it.

Always learning so much here...true value and high quality videos. Thank you for making them

Unbelievable deductions. I would have never figured all that out I learned alot.

Thank you. I’ve have a bike that I’m working on that had all these same symptoms. I told the customer that it was the ecm and they insisted to change every else but the ecm. After sending them this video they agreed to tru it and bingo it fired up. I felt like you made this video just for me

Now that’s what I like to see true diag on an issue that does not throw a code. Love these gear head troubleshooting issues as they can relate to all of us at some time in our troubleshooting.

Absolutely the best explanation of the best range of content!

i'd like to see the "bad" sensor waveform. Great diagnostics video. So many techs (and people in general) think "read a code, swap a part". A code, or in this case lack of code, is merely a piece of diagnostics. thanks for sharing.

Excellent video, and thank you for sharing your expertise with us!.. Great information!!

Wow , very well done and articulated clearly , Thanks .

Thanks Kevin, Very interesting and informative video, great content!

As usual very informative! Great content! Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I recently had a no start issue with the 98 Heritage I bought. Didn’t know where to start. Turned out to be ignition switch.

Great video. Knowing how to properly troubleshoot shows the difference between a great shop and an average shop.

I have searched and search this video I have the same exact problem with my 2001 Electra Glide you are the man thank you so much

That was awesome. Some great things learnt from this video mate.

Very informative thread. Thanks

Loved this video…I worked avionics on military aircraft for 42 years. Looks like a great deal of the technology marbles have entered the civilian market. Great in-depth explanation!

I’m an electrical engineer and it warms my heart to see you use an oscilloscope. Most motorcycle mechanics have no idea what that is or how beneficial it can be. Good job.

Just spoke with Jason a few minutes ago about a rebuild on my 95 EVO and wanted to say you are fortunate to have him with you...

Great work as always

Love videos like this where you can actually learn from it.

Great video! I would love to see more diagnostic videos just like this!

I love how you drill down all the way on this one. I’ve gotten to the point where I know “x” is bad but this is actually proving I!!

Hi Kevin I've never owned a Harley davidson until I turned 60 odd. I welcome your videos so much thankyou Terry from Australia

my brain nearly melted when you said, it wld not crank off starting fluid even w spark.. too many carbs in my life to immediately catch the FI system needs all that communication to 'time' it just right too ... great vid ty sir

Great video Kev, you explained that really well………….every day is a school day.

I had a friend years ago who was a great mechanic and a very passable electrician. He said he would rather deal with a mechanical problem than electrical. He Said the thing about electrical work is you may replace a part and it may run for awhile but then it fails and you realize the part you replace was just a symptom of a larger problem. Kind of like replacing a dead battery only to find the new battery is fried a few weeks later because the voltage regulator was shot.

Another great video Kevin ! Keep up the good work !

Really interesting video to watch!

Now that's troubleshooting at its best 👌 great video sir

Awesome video, love the diagnostic info.

I really want to have this video playing for all of my customers to see when they ask why it cost so much for diagnostic repairs. Videos like this help breakdown all that’s involved with doing proper diag, and not just throwing miscellaneous parts at a bike, hoping to get lucky and find the problem.

Thanks Kevin,I need all I can get,love your vids can't wait for the next one.

That was a great video. I really understood what you were saying. Had no idea It takes all that to run. I really learned something new. Thanks 👍

Another great video Kevin! I hate diagnosing electrical issues, that is definitely my weakest spot. I have two oscilloscopes in my attic that belonged to my dad. One is the old style with the round CRT display and the other is a little more modern, but still about 30 to 40 years old. I have no clue as to how to even use them though.

Excellent content, troubleshooting is my favorite. I had it being a timing issue while listening to you eliminate the choices...👍

So basically the discombobulator was all dukemflached!!🤷🏻‍♂️😂Great video and education would love to see you do some more work on a 88B because that’s what I have.I hear there great platforms for builds.Thanks again.👍🏻🍺

Thanks brother✊ Customers don't always understand the hourly rate we charge in regards to the work performed. Essentially in my opinion and experience you are paying for the work essentially but you more importantly are paying for the knowledge and experience as well . Best regards Mr Baxter.

Great info!!!

Kevin: I really like, enjoy and learn a lot from your videos. The step by step tear-downs and parts upgrades complete with tips and explanations gives me a lot more confidence that I could do at least some of these projects and repairs myself. Happy that you are getting into problem solving videos although I have to say that this first effort was mighty obscure. I haven't carried a scope since I retired eons ago. And swapping an ECM based on a hunch would be cost prohibitive for me. I completely understand that technical explanation for how you got there and I appreciate that a lot. But for me, videos that isolate more common problems and fixes would be hugely helpful. As a reference, replacing cams is about the limit of my skill and available tools and I have yet to actually do that (yet). Keep up the great work and answer your messages :) Trying to buy a Daytona Twin tek controller from you and not getting a response :(

Sometimes I like my points, condenser, flyweight advanced, kick only, carbureted shovelhead with the hot wire on the coil being held there with an alligator clip.

Great lesson... Cheers.

Awesome videos Thank you 🇺🇲💯

Very informative video, thank you

Great video! Thank you 👍👍

Thank you very much for sharing. Learning a lot !

Nice job! Thankyou for this video!

Great video. Thanks!

Kevin, many years ago Daytona Twin Tec produced a EFI to Carb conversion module, to replace the Magneti-Marelli and early Delphi EFI system. Myself being an old "analog man", that would have been the route I'd have chosen. Great video as always. JP Jones "the old analog man" Lol

Great Video Kevin, very interessting.

Awesome info brother

Great video thank you very informative

Great video. Found a lot of problems can be solved with voltage gauge and checking grounds. But the frame is the ground. Have you ever checked? A car or truck all have engine ground for a reason. Engine mounts don't always ground out the engine. I ran a ground wire to starter and it fix starter lag. Plus it really seems to start and run better. And if engine is not grounded where does the current go? This is even more important with frames that use the engine as structural member like Buell, Pan Am, and Sportster S.

Clear as a bell now. That was a Great Video.

Great info 👍🏍️

Great video. Love this kind of stuff.

As usual, Great video! I like the subject and understand most of it, thanks to my son who works on new cars. But I will stick to what I know, carburetors, chains, points and condensers. Your scope reminds me of a Sun machine. Lol

Thank you for the information

great keep those diagnostic vids coming👍

Fascinating!

Nice one!

Were would be if not for your special tutorial. Love your work 👍

now that was the best video i have seen in a long time kevin I understood everything you were saying by the way the ole twin cam sounds sweet.

Way-to-go, you're a great teacher

Old school scope there. Another thing that can pull down the 5 volt reference is another sensor shorted or partially shorted. Typically 5 volt is shared among several sensors. Nice call on the ECM in this case. Nice thing to have a known good to prove it out 100 percent.

Great video

Thanks that was extremely useful apritiate your knowlage

✌👊 NICE!!! Thank you sir.

Well done sir thank you

great video Kevin 🤘⚡🤘✨✨

Well done.

Remarkable thank you

Electrics are complicated,nice walk through, well explained.

Make sense. Great video covering a common problem (bike won't start) with a strange twist. I can push start it, but won't start when using the electric start. My initial thinking when hearing the problem's discerption was what effect dose using the electric start have on the ignition. After watching the full video I believe I understand why that was happening. Seems like the low reference voltage is still enough for the crank sensor to produce an usable signal for the ECM proven by the fact they could push start the bike. But when using the electric start, when the battery voltage drops a couple of volts due to the load of the starter, I believe the reference voltage due to the bad voltage regulator in the ECM is also dropping more causing the crank sensor to produce a bad (noisy) signal that the EMC interrupts as the crank turning at a high RPM, which then dump excess fuel into the motor and all the other effects. It would be interesting to monitor the crank sensor's reference voltage during cranking and watch its signal with the scope. Maybe that's just me. Either way the EMC is bad due to a failed internal voltage regulator. Enjoy your video's and have learned a lot that's helped me with taking care of my own bike. Thank you.

Nice job.

That was great content, thanks!
