"Hard start" question
2005 Ultra with the original 88" engine. 61,000 miles. Usually runs like a top. Just started having "start problems" which replicates flooded carb. (but this is fuel injected). Battery strong. Turns over well, but doesn't catch. Takes 3-4 tries at holding starter.
Once it catches and runs, it is fine.
Fuel filter maybe? Or something more serious? Your thoughts are appreciated.

So I took it to dealer where they changed sensors, air filter, spark plugs, reset the ECM to factory spec's then re-downloaded the SERT, dyno'd the bike, and told me they had fixed the problem. Brought it home yesterday. Went to ride today -- and viola...same ol' problem with hard start. Seriously?! It is as if it is an old carb'd version (it isn't) as it turns over and doesn't "catch" until I crank on the throttle. Supposedly the fuel filter isn't an issue as fuel pressure from the tank is fine.
Thoughts...?

I'm not quite sure of the abbreviation of "IAC," though I am sure those more mechanically inclined should know. Thanks in advance, and I'll pass it along.
