Replace entire wiring harness

I bet those dealers love selling 800.00 harnesses that don't fix it. I guess after they put the harness in they would say that it ( the harness ) led them to the real problem, the ignition module, which is another 350.00 It sounds like you may have used up the ignition switch trying to start it when it wouldn't start, so I would replace that first. If you are getting spark and fuel ( plugs are wet after trying to start it for awhile ) then you do need a module, and they are 350.00 If the plugs aren't wet it may be the fuel shut off solenoid or wiring to it. The solenoid is under the fuel bowl and you should be able to feel it kick in when the ign. switch goes to on. If your arms aren't long enough to reach the ign. switch and the shut off solenoid at the same time you'll have to get a friend to help. If the solenoid kicks, it's working. Don't let the dealer get a hold of it unless you have deep pockets.

Replace entire wiring harness

Does everything work right, ignition, etc? It just doesn't start. If your plugs are getting wet while you are trying to start it and you are getting spark at the plugs,I would almost bet it is the ign. module. Do you know anybody that has an HPX that would let you could borrow the module? It doesn't take long to change them, you don't even have to mount the new one, just plug it in and let it hang there. Does yours look like it has been handled? It is below the right rear of the motor and has a plug going to it. If your dealer isn't a large one, he probably doesn't even have one in stock. They are 350.00 and you can't take them back. If your tech just tested it and didn't swap it out, those tests in the tech manual are useless.
