2001 dyna no start issue...please help.

Hey guys. New to forum. This is killing me. Having an issue with my 2001 dyna wide glide. Its was running great until i noticed i needed brakes. It was late so there was nothing i could do about that so i figured i would hook up the new engine LEDs i recently purchased. I did all that and put it up for the night. Got my brake pads and installed them. Went to go for a ride and now she wont start!! Im not getting spark to the plugs. Im getting power to the center pin of the coil plug. Could it be that the CDI is bad or will disconnecting the battery activate the security (which i dont have the fob for yet)and cut power from the ignition system. It will Roll over but not fire at all. Please help.

I had that happen on my 99 dyna, just turning over with no fire. It turned out to be the crank position sensor.

I wasn't getting spark and tested my coil, which was good. The flash fault code said the crank position sensor and sure as ****, it fired right up after replacing it.

I know it sounds like something you did, but it’s probably a coincidence....

I know your thinking spark, but are you getting fuel to the carb? Need both to fire up....
