Fire but No Fuel

By Mark DiPietro

Question for Fix My Hog

I have a 2003 EFI Softail that is getting fire but no fuel. I can spray fuel into the throttle body, and it will fire and run perfectly after it warms up. When I shut it off, it will not restart. I have changed the flywheel sensor, MAP, and fuel pump, but I still have the same problem. Also, will a crank assembly from an 02 A-type motor be the same as an 03 B-type motor?

We suggest that you start with a fuel pressure test. You may have a blocked fuel floater, a bad fuel regulator, or a bad fuel pump assembly.

    I have changed the fuel filter on my FLD but now it won’t start. Any suggestions, do I need to prime the filter?
