help! engine turns over but won't start
#12
I just had this happen to me today, '07 FLHT. Was accelerating up and getting ready to shift to third and the bike shut down, like the switch was turned off. Hotter than hell out and I wasn't going to mess with it in the sun along the road so got it towed home. (Got lucky on the tow as the driver knew me, $40! Thanks!!) Put my spark checker in line on each of the cylinders and it was showing spark, which surprised me. I remembered someone mentioning the check valve on here a while back so I pulled the connecter, wiped it a bit, plugged it back in and it fired right up.
Is it the actual check valve, on the fuel house, outside the tank, that I need to replace?

Did you try unplugging the fuel quick disconnect and re plugging. Also check that the fuel pump is running and there is no blown fuses. If you have a add on tuner like PCV or PCIII un plug it and see if it will run. They can do the same thing. Don't know about the fuel pack, but probably.
