Question Quits while riding

(2007 HD Roadking) Went on a ride, got low fuel, filled up, went about 2miles when I came to a stop. I proceeded but the bike began to sputter from one tail pipe and it felt like the other pipe had no power. I pulled to the side and it shut off by its self. Couple of guys came to help, we cleaned the carb and checked sparkplugs. The plugs looked good but we turned it over and there were no sparks on either plug. One pipe seemed to have a little fuel leaking. They said it could be a problem with the ignition. What should I do? What should I check?

Hmmm. 2007 road kings were fuel injected. What Carb were you cleaning?

Your problem could be few different things. First thing to check is to see if your bike is throwing any codes. It could be a bad ignition coil, a bad sensor etc).

Thank you Kojak for your help. I really appreciate it. I happened to read other post that were similar and looked at my odometer to see if there were any codes given and didn't see any. Is that where I check for codes or do I need to connect it to something??

I checked the terminals, positive was loose. However, after fully charging my battery and securing it, I still have the same problem of it not starting. No Spark.... I checked fuses and all good, next I'm going to look at any sensors or ignition coil. Thanks Sniperduce
