  • If you have an HD starter you can sometimes get parts to fix it from a cheap Nippondenso starter found on Toyota cars and trucks. The idler gear and retainer for a Shovelhead starter can be had from an alternator and starter repair shop for around $10.00 compared to $47.00 from the aftermarket Harley catalogs
  • When your Shovelhead starter sticks, try removing the solenoid and flip over the big contact plate inside there. It will give your starter new life.
  • If you notice you are losing power on the top end or your bike stalls, pops, sputters, etc. when you are cruising, make sure you don't have 2 fuel filters inline. Your tank most likely has a filter in the petcock. If you add a second filter, the gas cannot flow through both filters fast enough to keep your bike running at high RPMs.
