Harley-Davidson Won't Start... (Evo 1340)
Vložit
- čas přidán 8. 04. 2022
- Harley-Davidson Fat Boy 1340 Evolution V Twin had a tough time starting after being put away in storage for the winter. After ensuring the carburetor was cleaned out and flowing the proper amount of fuel, we then used jumper cables to give the bike and it's starter an extra boost. After a few long cranks, the motorcycle finally roared to life! The sound of the Evo 1340 is known as the potato potato potato sound. Listen closely and you'll understand what we mean by that.
Give this video a “Thumbs Up” if you love the sound of a Harley-Davidson.

Man, that's THE sound of ALL engine sounds in any vehicle of all time right there.
Yeahhh it’s a good one ☝🏻
how to get'er to fire up no problem, even after sitting: assuming the stock Harley carb, turn the petcock on, give a moment for the bowls to fill, pull the choke out fully, give the throttle 2-3 pumps, hold the throttle open only a crack, and she'll light right off. The Harley CV carb does not like being pumped while cranking, so remember that won't give you a happy start, more likely to flood it. But if you do flood it, they're very easy to clear by just holding open the throttle maybe 1/3 the way open. Stay safe bros, ride good, and that old Evo sounds amazing!!
Thanks for the pro tip! Stay safe out there as well.
That's some advice there. I'm glad I stumbled across this video. I'm new to a fatboy 97 and that info will help me be better with starting her up. I did flood it yesterday and to clear it I used your advice and popped right on 👌🏼👍🏻
@@WNBFVictoria - right on! Glad to hear it helped you out bro💪🏻
Yepper!!! I love my carbureted evo engined Electra Glide Classic.
@@fmagalhaes1521 , that's a big reliable rolling couch for sure😁
Nice to see a video from the Garden State. Cheers.
Absolutely, 👍
@@HonJazzz Good to hear from you. I'm at the shore. Peace brother :)
Have had 4 Harleys .Always put them away for winter .Never had a prob starting any of them after 5 months of storage. Used to let them tick over with tap turned off till they cut out .Then took out plugs and cleaned them .put 5 mill of redex in each cyl .Topped the tank right to the brim with fuel , put in 20 mill or redex.Connected optimate 24 /7 charger .And thats it.
On starting I would spin it over with plug leads off a few times to get the oil up .Put leads back on and never failed to start after a few turns ( sometimes instant start ) .Have done this procedure since 1989.
That’s good to know for when I bring the bike out this spring. Thank you
Love that sound
I apologize. Well, not really. I can't get this sexy bike out of my mind! Please sell her to me!!!
If you goose the throttle two or three times and make sure the enrichener is pulled out, it would start a lot quicker. It also helps to have a working battery. Also, high revving on cold startup adds a lot of wear and tear on internals. You don't seem to understand much about Harleys.
私のハーレーも1998年式のファットボーイです。
まだまだ元気なエンジンです。
That sound! ❤️
That sound is literally orgasmic. Reason I bought my first Harley and reason I want to buy bike in this video. I watch this video and cu^ to it multiple times daily!!! I need this bike!
@@mitchrapp9012I agree! ❤ I won't be able to this year, but I hope to buy a Harley next year! Maybe even a Sportster but I want it to be an Evolution.
Greetings from Croatia!
FANTASTICA !!
Hermosa máquina ❤
Same problem in the early spring, vacuum operated fuel valve no gas in the carburetor. Took the gas line off the valved and primed the carb and she fired up👍
Good to know! Enjoy your bike and stay safe out there.
Scott is right. If you drain carb or gas evaporates over winter that vacume operated fuel valve forces you to crank it to create vacume to let gas into carb. Takes a while. Take air filter off to carefully squirt a little gas into carb. A clean 80/90 W gear oil bottle works very nice.
You guys seem cool and thank you for not being mean to me. I was the one being unnecessarily mean.
hey, you make a focking great job men !
Thanks?
Beautiful sound. Exhaust looks factory , but sounds beautiful . What is the muffler number ?
My 97 fatboy did that same thing about a year ago. I replaced the spark plugs and it started right up. Still till this day it stumps me how two plugs could just decide to quit comepletely and the engine wasnt flooded either because im too smart to flood an engine. And I havent had any trouble since. I think some things are spiritual I suppose because I still cannot define why On yours I noticed once it started running smoothly that your pilot jet and carburetor are perfect, I know that because I am professional when it comes to carbs. On any harley you should always carry a spare pair of spark plugs
Would you look at that they are from jersey, do you know anyone who makes throttle cables, I did 18 in apes on my 96 softail the cables I ordered just bit to long
Old Evo's never die ♥️♥️♥️
No idea at all, evo fires up normally, you just need to know what you're doing.
Does the heat of the pipes burn/damage the bottom of that bag? Looks like it's almost touching. BTW the slow idle sounds nice!
Nah it’s good 👍🏻 thank you
So, as you know, I bought my first Harley because of this video. She (Anglia I named her) is a doll. But, I can't escape this video. I love this bike. I want her! Will you sell her to me? If so, respond and I will send you my contact info.
I have a 98 fatboy in iowa ide sell you😊

Sounds gooood
Poor bike
What's going on brother I noticed the jersey plate, I'm in South jersey having some issues with my 96 softail she's knocking over here on CZcams looking for some answers
Does it even out at different rpm?
@@HonJazzz no it doesn't it actually gets louder especially when the bike gets warmed up
@@edmondndrecaj4377 hmm that doesn’t sound good… it may need a rebuild
@@HonJazzz dude I barely put any miles this year this bike has given me issues since the day I got it, for a 96 with only 20000 and the previous owner did top end on the bike back in 2017 I did see the paperwork milage was 17000
@@edmondndrecaj4377 Yeah I hear ya… I hope you get it sorted out. When they are running good, they’re a lot of fun
Is it typical for them to be hard to start after the winter?
Yes, sometimes they just need a boost after hibernation haha
Yep all carbed Harley’s are hard to start after a hard winter. Lol I’m more concerned if your carbed Harley fires up in winter first try lol 😂
not if they're put away correctly. What they have is a tank full of degraded gas. StarTron or SeaFoam makes ALL the difference. Gas begins to degrade after about 3 weeks.
I have never had a prob starting mine after winter ( 3 diff evos )
But I store mine in a VAC bag.
@@lynskyrd I just top the tank up before storing and add 20 mill of fuel stabiliser ( redex ) have done that since 89 and never had a start up prob .mind you I run it with tap tuned off to empty carb .I reckon that's most peoples problems leaving the carb full on a long lay over.
😲🏍️👍👍👍👍🖖
Yeahhhh
I bought my first Harley because of this video as you can tell from my other comments. She is wonderful and I love her, but I can't escape the sweet baby doll in this video with the two morons trying to start her.
Enjoy your bike and thanks for watching!
Thank you sir. I didn't expect a kind response and i apologize for coming across as an asshole

Jesus Christ you’re gonna be putting a starter in it next
naw, the starter motor can handle that without a problem.
