Default Magnetti Mareli Problem

Hello gents. I have a 2000 Road King and it is fuel injected. The bike was running fine and was in a little accident. It sat for a while and I am trying to get it going again. It turns over fine and if I give it a shot of fuel into the intake while hitting the starter button it fires right up so I am pretty sure the crank sensor is ok and my timing and ignition are working. There are no codes and all of the fuses and relays are good so I am a little lost. It just isn't getting any fuel. Any help would be appreciated. Thanx in advance.

Fuel gelled in the injectors? Can you hear the tank pressurizing up when you turn the ignition switch to on?

Pump was stopped so it has a brand new pump and it comes on with the key and I can hear it building pressure. Can these injectors be cleaned without melting the plastic?
I am wondering about the tip sensor too but I have cycled the ignition a whole bunch of times.

Make sure that you are getting fuel through the gas line. Next, do a wiggle test on the wires going to the injectors, especially the front one. Sometimes these are too short which causes an internal break. The accident may have been enough to finish it. If you have fuel, and there is good power to the injectors then I would take them out, and clean or replace them.

I was going to just replace the injectors and then I saw how much they cost. I don't mind spending the money if I know it will fix it but to toss out a couple hundred bucks for a guess....I think I would rather try all of the other stuff first. Thanx, I am going to check the wires and see if I can't clean the injectors when I get some time to mess with it again.
