I have a 2007 hammer. I replaced the push and pull cables and now it won't start. Problem is I didn't start it before I replaced the cables so i dont know if its something i did or if it wasn't starting prior. It cranks but won't start. Originally I thought I didn't connect the tank back properly but it's fine. I put a new feul pressure gage and got nothing so I figured feul pump or feul pressure regulator but I sprayed starter fluid in the intake and still nothing. I checked plugs and I have spark. Battery is fully charged.

No fuel pressure?
No start!
Quantum makes a direct replacement for under a $100.
They'll sell you a regulator and filter as well.
Check the throttle body adapter for cracks and clean the throttle body while you're in there, you'll be glad you did.

Are you certain the tank fuel connector is connected properly? Do you hear the fuel pump run briefly when you turn the key on? Before I change a pump out, I’d want to be sure the pump is actually bad. So the first thing I would check is the fuel line connector and also the electrical connector. These things are not standard looking connectors, and if they aren’t perfectly matched and locked, they won’t connect properly.

Did you disconnect the fuel line at the tank, or at the fuel throttle bodies? The reason I ask this is that the tank connector is really hard to lock into place due to the minimum amount of room in there. I usuall disconnect the line at the throttle body and pull the line out with the tank. When I install the tank, I only have the electrical connector to fight with and I feed the fuel line in as the tank is going on. Then it’s relatively easy to hook up the fuel line to the throttle body.

Just a thought there. I take it the bike was running before you changed out the cables? Also, are you sure certain you have the cables rigged right and that the throttle body arm is against the idle stop? That’s important too. However, if there is no fuel pressure, I’d be sure to chase that down via the connectors first.

Just one more question: Where are you putting the fuel gauge to measure the pressure? At the tank, or at the throttle body?

Cheers

His is an '07. It has a Schrader valve on the right side just below the wedge.

I'm a little um cant decide. Shocked or feel silly. If have spark and spray start fluid and dont even get a "start" to burn the fuel I'm suspicious. So we need 3 things Fuel- check start fluid, Ignition- check spark, Air is the only thing missing. Air filter clogged, mouse has made a nest blocking intake?

Make sure TPS wire isn’t cut or disconnected.
