Sorry for the long post. Ive got a friends bike in my shop that I installed a new set of Andrews 48H cams in today (bike is and 07 UC). I installed the cams and new inner bearings and all went well. I also bought a PCV with Autotune from Fuel Moto with a map already installed that Jamie put in. The friends bike already had a true dual Rinehart setup that he did not like because hes short legged and he said the left side pipe has burned him pretty badly more than once so I installed a new Rinehart 2-1 to get the exhaust down and away from him. While removing the true duals, the left side pipe had a bracket the mounted using the starter bolts. While removing the bracket, I inadvertantly arced the copper starter bolt and it sparked pretty good. I finished installing the cams and exhaust and decided I would fire it up before installing the PVC and autotune. Now I have power to everything and I hear the fuel pump priming but the starter wont spin. I quickly checked the fuses before I quit for the day but didnt see any burnt ones and I wondering if it could be the starter relay? Anybody got any ideas on what to check?
Edit: I do not have the O2 sensors plugged in. I put the new wide bands for the Autotune in the exhaust but I have not plugged them in yet. I didnt think it would matter but I thought this may not let it crank since the O2 harness is not plugged in.
