Default Rocker - fuel pump does not prime

I finished rebuilding of my bike. Lot of mods, no dash, etc. I have now problem. I can not start engine. I hear idle but when i push run button i dont hear fuel pump to prime. We checked all conections, pump relay is working, i can hear it click, fuse is ok.. Fuel pump is working, we tested that. Basically there is no voltage coming from relay to fuel pump connector which is under dash ( i have it now under tank). All other things like lights, horn, speedo, etc. is working. Any idea. Why the 12V is not coming to fuel pump connector? Maybe i miss some basic thing???

Also I dont have connected fuel gauge and i installed also Power Commander with SE heavy breather..... Also i have not connected headlight yet.

THANKS

hmm, so i tried without Power Commander and no change. I checked everything again but did not find problem. Only thing is that fuel gauge which is not connected, connector is empty now. But i doubt that could be the reason, i can not check, i dont have the fuel gauge anymore, got rid of it......

Yeah I had the same problem. A hose was disconnected in my tank. Sorry for the late response. I thought I would comment anyway to help others in the future.
