The starter will not kick in on my 1984 Harley Evo engine. What could be the problem?

There are a few reasons why the starter on your 1984 Harley Evo engine may not be engaging. Here are a few things to check:

1. Battery: Ensure the battery is fully charged and has enough power to crank the engine.

2. Starter solenoid: The starter solenoid is responsible for engaging the starter gear with the flywheel. Check if the solenoid is properly connected and receiving power.

3. Starter motor: The starter motor itself may be faulty. Check the wiring and connections to ensure the starter motor is receiving power.

4. Neutral switch: Ensure the neutral switch is working properly and is allowing the starter to engage.

5. Ignition switch: Check if the ignition switch is turned on and allowing power to flow to the starter.

6. Wiring: Check the wiring between the battery, solenoid, starter motor, and ignition switch for any loose connections or damage.

7. Grounding: Ensure the engine is properly grounded to allow for a complete circuit.

If you cannot identify the problem, it is recommended to take your motorcycle to a qualified mechanic for further diagnosis and repair.
