The switch to the left of the headlight is the headlight dimmer switch. It is 3-position: Dim, Off, Bright. The headlight will not function unless the bike is running, since there is no battery... This switch, especially with the original knurled chrome knob, is a bit rare. It also fits early Sportsters. So take good care of it... Dave ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- John thanks for the info , i found the kill switch , thank-you . i understand the dry kick method and cracking the throttle as you give that compressed kick ...... i tried all that and still no start . i am confused about the switch mentioned since it seems to be a 2 way switch by the left side of headlight . which posistion is it to be for the engine and brake versus the headlight and back light ect.? or does it matter ? i tried both posistions of course / and still no luck i am close to getting there / i know it/ do you have to retard the magneto in any way to start? i did buy a new superglide in 1996 special order out of milwaukee harley plant drove it 12 years and got married ...you know the rest yes i sold the bike for a camper / family ...live in milwaukee got some old pics of me and Willie G. with vintage bikes back in the late 70's i will post the hummer and some pic's of willie g before he even went to sturgis ....gotta get this scooter going first / no real hurry since it is a show bike , and my new babie . gotta do it right ! my history is born in milwaukee . drove dads hummer bought a sprint and superglide. got the hummer back and will be arround here. {website} thanks for all your help keep in touch ..harley rallies and all i could come in handy ! patrick. |
