Last year we bought a 1980 Shovelhead. My husband has had it in the shop three times for burnt plugs. Everything is new except for the motor. They replace something and it runs for a while and then it sputters and there goes another set of plugs. Any ideas as to what the problem could be? kitson321
In a nutshell : It's a 1980 Shovelhead.

Tried a new coil already-also tried alt. and stater. Any other ideas, needs to be re-jetted maybe? There has to be someone who has had this problem?

put in new plugs, check color after a few miles of hard riding. Heat range could be off. Re-check timing; these babies can knock and you might not hear for all the normal noise!!! My 80 Low Rider has 110,000 mi and never eats plugs.

They had put in a coil they had to try and save my old man some money and it wasn't hot enough. Put in a new hot coil and the beauty runs great!
