Default Has spark, fuel pump comes on. Won't start 2006 Street Bob

Went riding tonight and stop for diner and went to head home and the the bike will not start. First time that I had to have someone to come a get me with a trailer.

Anyways got home check for spark right away since I could hear the fuel pump prime. Have great spark but the plugs are dry. Check for codes and none are coming up.

Have a Vance and Hines fuel pak installed since I have a pipe and intake installed but that has been install for 5000 plus miles when I did those modifications last year.

Any advice/help is appreciated.

I don't have any experience with the FP but I used to have pc3 and they do go bad after a while. First thing I would do is remove the fuel pak, plug the main harness back into the ecm and see if it starts. I probably wouldn't ride it like that that, but at least it should give you an idea if it's the fp or not! Good luck!!

If after you pull the FP and it still won't start, you could have a clogged fuel filter or a pinhole in the internal fuel line.
If it's the original battery it might be bad.

quick fast and cheap thing to check first , disconnect the quick connect fitting on the bottom of the tank fo the fuel line. make sure the check valve is letting fuel flow bu using a small screwdriver or pick to push the pedistal on the tank side fitting up, it should allow fuel to run out when you push it up and stop fuel flow when you remove the pressure on it. Make sure the fuel ine is seating properly when reconnecting it , the fittings have been known to wear and not depress the plunger enough to let fuel flow

First thanks for the replys. Checked the plastic lines on the fuel pump all was good there. Replaced the fuel filter since I had the fuel pump out. After the the bike started right up. Went for a little ride the bike quit about a mile from the garage. I played with quick disconnect at the fuel line/tank bike started right back up.

I had to replace the oring at the disconnect over the winter when I had the tank painted. Thinking that the replacement oring may have swelled and not depressing both plungers all the way.
