Default Crank no Start

out riding and bike died but would not restart. Took off hose to fuel rail and put in a bottle and hit starter button and fuel came out like you are pouring it out of a gas can. fuel pump cycles when you turn it on. any thoughts?

it was the fuel pressure check valve in side the tank, which is the coragated tube. It had a hole rub in it, which put the pressure in the tank not the fuel injectors.

Make sure you replace all the lines, use the crimping tool to ensure the clamps are tight. Be careful putting it back inside or you'll hear that funny sound of fuel splashing against the tank way too soon.
