Default 2000 RK electrical issue- wont start

I have a 2000 Road King that began to start a little rough a few weeks ago. It was almost like a slight hesitation just before the starter kicked over. Today when starting it, it primed the fuel lines and when pushing start it killed the headlights and dash lights and now the fuel lines wont even prime. Please help!!

Charge the battery and take it to an auto parts store and have them load test it.

Clean all the connections, and once you know the battery is fully charged and in good working condition, perform a charging system test.
