Default 2001 heritage springer starting issue

Hey guys I have a 2001 efi springer softail that isn’t getting fuel to the intakes. I have replaced the fuel pump and confirmed fuel is being delivered all the way to this side of the injectors.. eather in the intake creates a brief startup so it’s firing. Just no gas. Could it be the injectors? Any other ideas?

Based on what you've posted, sure sounds like fuel isn't making it past the injectors. It could be the injectors themselves, the signal to injectors from the ECM, or problem with wiring to injectors .....

Not really enough info to make an educated guess on what the problem is ..... Was it running well and then just wouldn't start? Was it running and quit while running? Did you just pull the bike out of storage and it won't start? Was it running, you did some work on it, and now it won't start? Why/when was the fuel pump replaced?

You could just put in new injectors, but if that doesn't fix it, then what? I'm not a fan of throwing parts at a problem until it's fixed. I've done that before, and it can get expensive if you don't get lucky with the first few parts fixing the issue.....

I believe the softails never came with the MM fuel injection, and you should have the delphi system, is that correct? If so, you're lucky.... I'd start by checking for codes then follow the service manual.....

Good luck with the trouble shooting....
