Won't start
I have a 2000 road King ultra classic. When I baught the bike and got it home it would not turn over, it cranks but won't turn. I discovered the fuel pump was bad due to the fact the bike say without fuel for 2+ years. I replaced it, got all the rust out of tank. I was able to clean the fuel lines that come out of the bottom of tank and they are clear. I believe the injectors are clean as well. After all that I'm not getting power to the pump. I checked the relay and I believe it's working properly because when I hit the start button it cranks but still won't start because it's not getting fuel. I bypassed the relay and all that and direct wired the the pump off the battery with a toggle switch just see if I could get it to start. I hit the switch and pump came on and I had fuel leaking out of the fuel lines on the bottom of tank but still won't turn over. I realize that my direct wire won't work because it just constantly wants to keep pushing fuel until I turn the switch off. I guess what I'm wanting to know is what else could it be other than relay that is keeping it from turning over

cranks but doesn't turn?
Do you have spark?
Since you have real way of knowing if the bike ran, need to check everything.
