My 2004 FXSTDI has begun to start when the ignition is turned on, without engaging the start button. I checked the start switch to see if it was shorted, but was ok. Pulled the plunger in the solenoid and cleaned/burnished the contacts, still no help. I do hear what seems to be more noise than normal from the primary. It also seems to be pulling the battery down and charging system doesn't seem to be charging (12.85VDC @battery when turned off, 11.75VDC at battery when cranked up and running @ 3000rpm). Additionally, I checked the stator and it seems to be good (internal resistance 0.2 ohms, no shorts to ground, and generates 16VAC at idle). 3-phase voltage regulator seems to test okay, but I'm not totally sure on that.
Does anyone have any ideas of what I should check next????
