Street Glide cranks but won't start
Hi,
Wondering if anyone might have an idea on what's going on with my bike. Is an 09 street glide. Having trouble starting it. Drove it to the gas station and when I went to leave it wouldn't start. Had to get it towed. Bike cranks over but won't run. I changed out the battery for a new one and still the same problem. I checked the fuses, and they're all good. I disconnected the fuel quick connect and a bit of gas came out. Pulled the plugs and they're dry after turning it over. I can hear the fuel pump running when I turn it on. No codes either. Any thoughts? Thanks

How do I check? Just pull a plug and hold it to the metal and crank it? Done that before with dirt bikes, not sure on big bikes.

Have you checked the volts on the battery? I know you replaced it. But would be good to know under load (cranking).
Mine did the same thing last year and ended up being a bad battery.

Some fuel splashed out, but didn't spray anywhere with any force if that's what you mean. What should I be looking for?
