Default Help! 07 FXDB wont start!

My 07 FXDB with all of 700 miles won't light off! I've installed an HD race fueler and Bassani pro street slash cuts and had the dealer program the race fueler. Ran fine for the last 300 miles with the new items installed. Today I go out and it won't start.
The battery turns the motor over just fine and, every few attempts, it lights off for several revolutions then dies. Most of the time, however, it just cranks over.
Troubleshooting using the fire triangle of fuel, spark and air seem to eliminate air and fire.
Anybody had any problems with this. I have'nt tried to bump start it yet but I don't think it could be the battery do you? I have'nt ridden it for about a week but I don't think It could be that low.


Any advice is apprecited Gents.
Thanks,
Jake

If it's turning over fast, it's not the battery. Could be a bad coil. Are the plugs fouled?

Got fuel?[&:]

P.S. When you figure it out, let us know so I can apply the fix to my old mower. It was doing the same thing so I bought a new one. [sm=smokin.gif]
