There will be others post that may have had a similar problem. Do you hear the fuel pump pressure up when you turn on the key. I take it that it is turning over but not firing off.
I was riding beginning of the summer and it just died on me on interstate, last weekend I replaced fuel pump and filters , and it fired up I rode it about half HR with no problems then I parked it til next day , then I washed it and after drying and waxing I started riding it started spitting and sputtering so went home and when I shut off bike I t won't start back up , its firing but not starting , I'm gonna go get fuel pressure gauge and check that now hopefully it's still good but if it's good I don't no what to do
The internal fuel line and filter have to sit all the way back(toward the seat) in the tank, between two molded in brackets. If the line and filter aren't seated in there correctly it'll likely float high and the bike will seem like its run out of fuel... If you have a manual you can see what I'm referring too. But I'll see if I can copy the page
I can't cut the pics out of the .pdf but they are in section 5.21
PaiN's post was also my first thought. To test that theory, fill the tank all the way up and then try to start the bike after priming the fuel pump a few times. If it starts, you'll need to remove and the properly install the fuel filter and the pump.
Like PaiN said, if the fuel filter isn't placed properly, easy to do, the fuel filter will ride too high and starve for fuel long before it should.
Yeah when I replaced my fuel filter about a year ago on my Judge, I recall that I had to reach down with one hand and place the filter into the little grove at the rear of the tank just to ensure that that it was in the right place.
I am concerned about the unexpected shut down prior to the service work you did, but, to my chagrin, I have always been directed to the last work I did when looking for a problem. I would include a look at the electrical wires where they are fitted to the connectors that are installed in the different harness junctions.
Patience is indeed a virtue when working around electricity.
Haven't found anything yet , it's spitting and spudderin for about 45 sec then dies , I'm gonna take fuel pump out an make sure it is put in right and then I'm gonna retrace my steps , I got fuel pump relay coming in tomorrow , with a battery
Well I changed the fuel pump relay and went and retraced everything and I still have nothing I put new plugs , fuel pump and filter , cleaned all electric switch's , relays , recharge battery , still wanting to start for a few sec then dies , guess I'm taking it in shop ,
Subscribed and Wondering myself what the outcome of the problem is .. Heard a few negatives on Washing a Victory but never had a problem with this just use a Low Pressure Garden Hose and extra careful where I spray the water .. This is my 2012 XC Washed throuroughly then Treated with Top Coat F11 at 4 1/2 Years Old and 80,000 Miles on it just before traded it in on a 2017 Chieftain Dark Horse ..
first find out if you have 49PSI at fuel pump. Some water in gas will not cause it not to start
