Default Any Ideals

My friend had a 06 custom softail, and it will act like it is wants to start but only for a few sec. If you spray carb cleaner in the air filter it will run for maybe 5-7 sec. He has changed out the fuel pump, taken the injectors out and cleaned them. Checked for fire and getting that.

anybody have any ideals


Thanks all

I have had a similar problem with a generator and a lawn tractor and in both cases it was an electrical solnoid that had failed and would not allow fuel to flow which sounds like your friends problem. I'm not familar with the EFI fuel system since this is my first EFI Bike but I would look for something in the fuel system along those lines.
