I've installed my 3rd start relay on this bike now, and it seems to be having starting problems again. I'm in the process of tracing all the wiring out to locate the open circuit somewhere. The start button checks out ok, now the ing switch seems ok. Does anyone have a wiring diagram for an 84 dyna. I'm at a lost on this one.

Does this help?

Not sure which relay the '84 has but if it is like my '81, it is a small black plug-in cube which I've replaced several times. Seems the contacts will not withstand the reverse EMF of the starter solenoid very long. I found a replacement at at Jameco.com for a little over $2.00. Hope this helps.

Thanks guys for your input, I found the problem at the run/off switch. It was an erractic problem, sometimes it would make then it would act up. I got one ordered and should be in by Friday with a little luck.

thanks, Ron
