It's is running and starting wonderfully. Then it quits after 5 minutes. It cools off and then does it again. I'd like to buy a complete soup to nuts ignition and fix this once and for all.
I'm clueless what to order (2006 Electra).
My guess would be that one of the two coils (pickup or spark) in the system is heat sensitive, although 5 minutes seems less time than I'd expect it to take to heat up and cause problems.
I'm no expert, but I'm interested in the ignition system for your 2006, because I believe that the same parts would be what I would use if I wanted to remove the ECU from my 2012 C5 UCE machine. So take this list as a starting point, to hopefully be confirmed by a more experienced forum member. These are the components of a complete ignition system.
1) 502037 Rotor contains the reluctor node,

2) 144037 Reluctor pickup, aka "Pulsar coil"

https://accessories.hitchcocksmotorcycles.com/33651?qty=1&continue_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hitchcocksmotorcycles.com%2Fpartsbook-pages%2F2358 This is how I would try to purchase them for my conversion project, since I basically need everything anyway.
3) 147100 TCI unit

Not sure if you would need to replace this, or I would need to include this?
https://accessories.hitchcocksmotorcycles.com/10593?qty=1&continue_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hitchcocksmotorcycles.com%2Fpartsbook-pages%2F23625) 502027 Ignition Coil If you haven't tried replacing this item already, it would be high on my list of suspects for your problem.
https://accessories.hitchcocksmotorcycles.com/29130?qty=1&continue_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hitchcocksmotorcycles.com%2Fpartsbook-pages%2F23626) Spark plug cap
https://accessories.hitchcocksmotorcycles.com/accessory-shop/Spark-Plug-Cap/16358 I'd personally, probably go for a non-resistor type.
I think that's everything, other than electrical wiring, ignition switch, etc, which technically could be considered part of the system, but is, in my opinion, unlikely to be related to your problem.
If hopefully a more experienced member can weigh in and confirm this list, or suggest other, better components and/or note omissions, I'd be happy to help look for alternative sources for those items that may not be available from Hitchcocks..
