Answer
D.J.,
 Harleys are not my thing, 2-strokes from the 70's are.  You might wat to consult another on the list, I'm pretty sure there are a couple.  Just off the cuff though, check all connections (and that they are correct) and make sure your voltage regulator and rectifier are working.  Fouling plugs are a totaly seperate problem.  Recheck your timing and fuel mixture.
