01 Dyna Wont Start
I have a 2001 FXD that wont start. It is a carb system. Im getting the basic air, fuel and fire. I have changed the crank position sensor but that was a no go. Any help will be great.

We were on a poker run it was like 100 outside, we stop for a bit to let the bikes cool off, when we went to leave it cranked over back fired and hasnt hit a lick since. It turns over normal. It has a full tank of gas.

something is in the carb sounds like to me, take the float out and clean the needle
and if that dont work, jump a 12v positive to the bottome bolt on the coil,(3/8ths i think) that will tell you if the problem is in the ignition module no need to replace it to check, these carbed bikes will run like that...or if you have a voltage meter you can check the volts on that bolt

Had this problem a while ago but could obviously be different to yours. In behind the fuel tap is there is a rubber L shaped boot that connects to the fuel tap, I thnk it has something to do with the vaccuum(?). When I was having problems with the same symptoms you seem to be having I found that the rubber boot was weathered and cracked and not allowing to bike to fire. See if its connected to start with. Worth a shot or you could have vapour lock.
