Default spark
I have a 2005 dyna fuel injection, running perfectly before stripped for exhaust bolt snapped,the tank is off being sprayed,my question is I have no spark when cranking,does it need fuel pressure to have a spark,as the bike was fine before stripping.

Welcome to the HDFORUM. A Community Team imoo6170 will probably move your thread to proper area. Just a suggestion but come back here to say hello with a new thread.

Are the plugs in? It needs compression. Also, the speedometer is unhooked, so that is probably the issue. It has communication with ECM, signal light/or alarm signal light box.

@4skinhead I have moved this thread from the Welcome section to the Ignition/Tuner/ECM/Fuel Injection section as you will get better responses to your question in this section.
The Welcome section is more for introducing yourself & letting other forum members know what Harley Davidson you own. Please feel free to post a new thread back in the Welcome area to introduce yourself.

It does not need fuel but it needs compression. If you are cranking without spark plugs installed it will not spark.
