Wires are new so I hope it's not them, I'll change the plugs out and see if that makes a difference. My buddy said it might just be a faulty ignition module that isn't sending signal to the coil regardless of it having power, any input on this?

It has spark just not when it should, if I wire up the accessory position wire coming from the switch to the breaker it sparks on contact, but nothing when the ON wire is wired from the switch to the breakerComment

Im really hoping someone will still look at this thread. I Just rewired my 1999 883 Sporty, and I have no spark.
I used this diagram. Im not sure what could be causing the lack of spark. I had 4 wires coming out of my ignition, White/BLK Pink which go to the coil, Black which I grounded, and Violet which I capped. I have no clue why Im not getting any spark. Any ideas of where to look would be much appreciated. ThanksAttached FilesComment

thats for an aftermarket ignition/coil. is that what you're running?Comment

Unless we know the ignition type there's no way to give a correct answer. Also did you completely rewire the entire bike? meaning did you remove all wiring and then go back with new. Or did you only cut and patch certain parts of the wiring. Also is what you have in your nose cone a sensor or an actual ignition module?Comment

I'm about to wire up my 89 sportster with screaming eagle ignition and stock coil. The wire colors don't match most simplified wiring diagrams that Ive seen. Anyone have a simplified drawing for an 89 883?Comment

Your best bet is to take Billdozers diagram and use it as a basis for your specific bike. Find a stock wiring diagram (if you have a manual) and figure out what you need to keep, or just start over from scratch. If youre doing super basic, use the stock diagram to figure out where your Ignition Control Module wires are going, and its all downhill from there. Headlight, taillight, and all that little junk can all be followed verbatim off Bills diagram.Comment

Drink cases of BIG FLATS beer with your roomate and go after it. It takes a couple weeks longer to complete but it works. Also as soon as youre done, ride it. Especially if the oil tank is just tacked on. As soon as you see that hot girl in the sunfire, show off your mad skills. Thats when youll find yourseld hungover in this nice part of town tying your oil tank back on with your shoe strings and some dude in a range rover asking you for your number to put apes on his new triumph, while youre still stranded.Comment

Im in the middile or rewiring an 89 sporty at the moment. I am running a car style key switch, do I still need the starter relay wired in or can I just run from the start lug of the switch directly to the starter? I have the relay wired in now, but itd be less to hide if I dont have to have it.Comment

I'm gunna lose it. I can't find any resettable curcuit breakers anywhere online, and every auto/hardware store I go to do not have em in stock. I could order some, but the closest place they'd be sent to is 2 fucking hours away!
Help....Comment

Yeeeaaaahhhh...... OR, you could try this....
If you type 'manual reset circuit breaker' in any search engine, you should find what your'e looking for. I am in the middle of ordering my parts, also. There are cheapo breakers, or you could add 'marine grade' to your search. They are waterproof, salt proof, and corrosion resistant, but they are more expensive. Hope that is some help. And keeps you outta County for stealing breakers outta school buses!!Comment
