Default No start 2007 1200cc Sportster low fuel pressure

+1 for the search feature.

My 07 Sporty wasn't getting near adequate fuel pressure. Google brought me to this forum, specifically this fix:

TT328 – August 9, 2007 – 2007 XL Fuel Pressure
2007 XL Pressure Regulator / Low Fuel Pressure
With the help of the dealer network we were able to isolate some recent no start and poor drive quality complaints caused by inadequate fuel pressure. On some ’07 Sportster models the fuel pressure has been recorded well below the service
requirement of 55-62 PSI. This finding lead us to the conclusion the pressure was bleeding down past the large pressure regulator o-ring.

In order to ensure proper positioning and minimize movement of the o-ring a new service kit has been introduced. Use labor code 7164 and order part number 61005-07, which consists of a “Castle” Washer, Filter Screen, 1 Small and 1 Large O-Ring and is
intended for use on 75268-07/A/B Sportster fuel pumps. The “castle” spacer is installed with the openings pointing downward to prevent fuel flow restriction and should be only added to 75268-07B or earlier XL fuel pumps. Inspection processes were put in place prior to 2008 model launch, and in late August of 2007 XL production will be making a running change to a 75268-07C fuel pump. These fuel pumps will not require the “castle” spacer. The original regulator service kit (p/n 61015-04A) will remain available for situations requiring regulator replacement, service of a 75268-07C fuel pump or service of an already upgraded -07B and earlier pump.


See this old thread for more info.

$24 in parts later at my local dealer, I installed the fix which went together easily with diagram. bike runs great without incident.

Thanks guys!

That's what we're here for! Helped me numerous times in my early days and still does to this day (albeit, less often). Hopefully we can pass on the good karma.

Definitely. I much appreciate it when, after a problem thread has gone through the round of options, the original poster comes back to share what the issue/fix was. Helps out those with the same problem in the future
