Default Wirng Problem?

Good morning! I am new here! I have a 2008 HD Road King that I installed Monkey Bars. The bike was running and operating great when I pulled it in the garage. Bought the extension wire kit. Made all connections. Soldered, and shrink wrap. All lights come on like they should. Turn kill switch on. Can hear the fuel pump energize. It will turn over, but will not fire. Sprayed a little starter fluid in it and it will fire till fluid is gone. Any suggestions?

Did you take the tank off? Reconnect fuel line? If it's the quick connect, you may not have got it seated correctly.

I would double check the wires you worked with that are shown in this wiring diagram 1st... Make sure the fuel pump is sending fuel into the F I system. If not, you may have a clogged fuel filter.
It is very frustrating that you do a wiring job, and then a fuel delivery problem appears.
