Dave: Your #1 cylinder ( the front cylinder) is not firing. It could be that the spark plug is fouled or improperly gapped, or the carburetor is not delivering gas to the cylinder. pull both spark plugs Clean the plugs and gap them. The gap should be about 0.035 In. (thirty five thousandths). Reconnect the wires to the spark plugs. Lay the spark plugs against the outside of the cylinders with the metal part of the spark plug body touching the cylinder (creating the ground part of the circuit). push the starter and look for spark at both spark plugs. If you have spark at both plugs, put them back in and start the bike and check the exhaust pipes to see if they are both hot. If one is still cold, the carburetor for that cylinder is not delivering gas. Could be a kinked or clogged fuel line, disconnect the fuel line from that carburetor and see if gasoline flows out. If gas flows out, the carburetor needs to be tuned or removed and cleaned.

Inside the starter relay assembly, there is a 30 amp fuse. You might check that the fuse is good.

Although the problem could indicate a (potentially) expensive electrical fault. It is worth trying the simple (and cheap) fixes first: Have you tried swaping the Spark plugs (front to rear) If the fault moves with the plug, then A new set will get you sorted. (Spark plugs may appear OK off the bike, but can break down when under compression) Can't guarantee that this will work, but well worth a try.

Hopefully it's just the spark plug, take it out and check the gap and coloring, clean it and set the gap to the recommended gap, Or take note of the sparkplug coad and get a new one, check with the manufacturer or in your handbook that it is in fact the correct one. check the connections and lead, they do deteriorate over time, to find out if your on the right track, swap the leads over and see if the other cylinder dose the same thing. Swap the sparkplug over for process of elimination. So if it's still missing we know to check the pickups or cdi unit, there's a possibility its fuel, check the carburetor, is it a twin carb? If so, clean it buy taking the bowl of and draining out the fuel, you should do this occasionally anyway. Check the fuel filter while you're at it. Good luck

Usually, a single click means a bad starter relay.

either on the engine cooling system or the radiator body !

This my help

I usually fill up every 100 miles. I usually get between 50 and 54 mpg on an '01 Marauder.

check for carbon build up in the valve seat to assure it is seating properly. If no problem found than you have installed a cam that has a lobe to raked for your application. check to be sure that you were sent the correct cam by mic ing it out. Right box wrong part is 20% of all return parts issues across the board

if the bearing is open on both sides it shouldn,t matter which way it goes in , if its sealed on one side and open on the other , put open side towards inside of engine . for the oil seal question , look at seal it should have a spring around lip on center lip of seal , put it towards inside of engine , if it don,t have a spring and seal is open on one side and closed on other side , put open towadrs inside of engine

first off check the fluid after the bike is at normal operating tempature, if fluid is still ok then I would suggest checking for a broke ground, or replacing the temp sensor.

one carb not getting all the gas it needs,,,,Hence weak fule pump. getting to first carb then fades

Check for failed bearings with the engine in neutral and then roll it back and forwards. If there is only a small bit of movement you may have a locked gearbox (in one of the gears. Or it could be the shaft drive mechanism) try and rotate the rear wheel bearings with the wheel removed from the bike. This will tell you if the fault is with the wheel or the transmission.
