Default 2007 Sportster Not Starting...

My 2007 Sportster XL 883 had a Rocker Box gasket leak. I took my gas tank off for more room. Upon completion of my engine work, I put my gas tank back on, and my injectors do not prime the engine when I flip the RUN switch. The motor cranks, the lights come on, but the bike just doesn't start. I took it to the Harley shop and they kept my bike for 3 weeks, only to tell me they replaced my spark plugs and put a new ECM on it, that did not fix the problem. My bike has been INOP for working on 3 months. I need help getting my bike going.
?????
Thank you for the help.

Ryan

I only took the one electrical connectors off. I have checked it, cleaned it, and checked it again... Thanks for the help though.

Hope you did not pay the shop ? Did you turn the bike over with the tank off at all? After attempting to start the bike now remove a plug and smell it for gas .

I did not pay the Harley shop and they delivered my bike bake to me. I did not try to crank it with tank off. I will give this like a look. Thank you.
