Well guys
Who Guessed ::::
Drum roll :::::
The drive sprock on the crankshaft is no longer conected to the crankshaft ?
There are 6 splines that are too small (crank) or too big (sprocket). There is a little bit of metal shavings in the bottom area. And one off the magnets is broke and loose , also an second magnet is loose.
What a mess!
Here is a Question : Is there a bushing (sposed to be) between the crank and the sprocket it drives ? Clue; there is fixing to be one there !
Maby the better question is does Harley make a bushing to fit between the crank and the sprocket it drives ?
All input is aprecated .

Item #15 in the attached is not connected? And you're asking if #16 is supposed to be there? Or do you mean is there a bushing (shim) between the crankshaft and the inside of the sprocket?

Sounds like your Alternator blew up, what year is this motor?

the item #15 (Sprocket) spins on the crankshaft becouse the teeth binding them are all but gone. Last summer the area developed a rattle while I was 300 miles from home. When I got home and checked it out the front sprocket was loose. I put lock-tite on it and torked it up 70+# . All was well till last Monday when it wouldn't start or push off. Well the sprocket spinning on the crank must have coused a magnet to get knocked off (starter speed only), but thats the least of the problems. I can JB Weld the magnet back in place probley better that original or ebay for $100.
I'm thinking Weld and Grind !%&*%^#! instead of a shim after thinking on it for a day.

Thanks for the picture I looked for a parts digram today but couldn't find one. Where did ya find it ?

Well
I started the Sportster today ....
Ended up with a shield built of metal flashing materal shielding everthing but the end of the crankshaft. Then building up the splines and cutting them back down with a dremel tool. Its as good as it was (maby better metal). I'd never heard of the splines wearing out befor , and I"ve had motorcycles for 39 of the last 40 years
It seem like a better set-up would be tapered splines or at least a fit of +-.002 then case hardened.
I'm disapointed in the engineering of the current set-up.
