Hi,
I have a 2006 Harley FLST {Heritage}, a couple days ago i was riding home when the bike suddenly died on me. The bike turns over but will not fire up, I have changed both spark plugs, change the fuel pump fuse, check to see that I have a spark from the plugs, check to make sure the fuel line was connected and fuel pump comes on when key is turned. None have theses have solved the problem, bike still turns over but will not fire up.

Any ideas on what to check next?

I don't think so, I put a little bit of fuel in the hole, put the plug back in and the bike fired up until the fuel burnt out

Sorry got tied up. I see you are in good hands. Sorry thought my question wasn't too vague. Hope the filter is clogged and it turns into a simple fix for you
