Default Fuel injector help

Trying to get my old man’s 1999 FLHTCI going again. It sat for 5 years. I have replaced the fuel pump and cleaned out the tank as best I could. Bike will run on starting fluid. Pulled the injectors which were gummy. I was just going to replace, but it seems the part is now obsolete. 27135-97. Anyone else had this issue? Any guidance is appreciated

You'll probably need to go aftermarket, or NOS if you can find some...

Here is one injector I found in an online search:

Try cleaning them. Rig up plumbing to attach a spray injector cleaner to the injector. apply 12 volts to the injector and discharge the cleaner thru the injector. Should be a spray if / when clean and functioning correctly.

Well, it took 3 weeks to get them back, and another week or so to find the time to install. Fired right up. 🤠. Now, a new project. The fuel lines are spewing below the screw in connectors. Are these serviceable? This 99 seems to be a pain in the **** to find bits for🤦‍♂️

You talking about the fuel lines from the tank.....??

They are still available from the MoCo... but you're not going to like the price....!!!!!

Seems it would be worth trying to disassemble them and repair them before buying replacements.. maybe just need a new o-ring ..
