I have a 2003 screaming eagle road king..i just finished up this morning on changing out the cam tensioners..i removed the tank and pulled the rocker box cover off and removed the oem pushrods and reused them..i have done this before so i am familiar with the change out..everything went smooth..no issues at all..swapped out shoes made sure all dots on sprockets lined up..no issues..put everythingback together..when i tried to start the bike..i hear the fuel pump prime and i hit the start and all it does is crank but doesn't start...any suggestions on what now...
Lol..fuel line is plugged in..checked that..lol..I'm gonna pull the tank back off and see if I see anything ..maybe the coil got disconnected...I hope that's all it is..
Found the problem..I'm an idiot...I took the dash off in prep to remove the tank and I didn't plug the dash back in...I plugged it in and it fired right up..
Stuff happens. Lose a screw...look all over for it....go get a new one....come back from getting new...boom theres the old one sittin right where I forgot I put it. LOL
