Hi everyone!!


I wrote a question on the forum. I have a 2008 Softtail Heritage. I just replaced the fuel check valve with the quick cupler.


I thought it went super well. However, now it wont start. It turned over
about 5 times, not starting. Now, it acts like I do not have a battery in it. Dead!!
Can someone offer me advice?


Appreciate it very much.


Mike

 

I don't usually do this but I have no Idea what or if you did anything else...

so you might read through some of these to see if one works for you...

It's been my experience that if something goes awry after I work on a vehicle, the problem is related to to something I touched while doing my "repair".

Doesn't mean it can't be unrelated to that job, it's just the odds are that it will be...

Start by looking at your check valve, and/or anything you had to remove and replace to get that job done....

Not starting in 5 attempts after dealing with a fuel part, sure sounds like lack of fuel....

Why it's all of a sudden dead after 5 tries... not sure, anything from weak battery and you killed it, or....???

 

What check valve are you talking about? I have redone my entire fuel system and I don't recal a check valve. The only check valve I can think up is sometimes Fuel pumps have a check valve inside them.

 

Check the ignition switch plug/fuses.
