My 1940 UL Flathead kickstarted perfectly with old school points. I recently changed to the e-beyond 2000 electronic ignition, super simple install, just under your distributor cap. It works great, and no more worrying about points wear and adjustments. Side note, like you i was kicking my 1970 ironhead and adjusting timing in low cut sneakers, it kicked back, broke my ankle and ruptured my achilles- be careful, they bite!!! Lol

I did those on my last panhead and liked them a lot. I blew out my knee on my old ironhead I feel your pain! Haha

That’s a beautiful machine. Sometimes when my bike refuses to start I pull off the air cleaner so I can see exactly what’s going on and going into the intake. That and a plug change almost always works. Your bike looks like it has a lot of compression. Ride safe!

I do the same only I add a shot of starter fluid down the intake, works every time.

Those lithium batteries can be safely charged with one of those trickle chargers (Deltran or similar) that shuts off when full charge is reached. That is a nice old Knucklehead chopper. Thanks for the video.

Milwaukee. You have the grey headed one. Great tool. I own several. Not good for breaking bolts loose that it can't do with the trigger though. It's basically a speed wrench and will work for years. They make a black headed one that I find to be absolute junk. Just me two cents brother.

12 volt system or 6? Those little half-pint size 12v batteries don't last long. Don't charge up the coil very well. I have a 14v gel-cell from a kids battery-powered vehicle. Fits the 6v oil tank perfectly. What carb? Linkerts on Knucks have a combination that must be learned. I like a 36-38mm Bendix with adjustable mainjet. Accelerator pump makes for easy starts.
