Default Troubleshooting my 2012 sportster 1200: Fuel is not exiting the injectors.

NEED HELP PLEASE...

I have gone through the battery, which is very strong. I have fire and have tried starting fluid to verify. I have checked fuses and relays. I have not tested my injectors YET but will soon. The fuel pump sounds very strong but have not verified if it is actually pushing fuel. The back has low miles, approximately 800 miles. The engine will crank perfect, it just wont turn over unless I use starting fluid. Thanks for your help in advance.

Try the sportster section , might get more answers. If it has been sitting a lot with ethanol I would guess probably gunked up , might have put holes in fuel lines etc......

How long since it last started?
How old is the fuel? If you remove the gas cap, does it smell like it should or smell off?
