Default hard start

Hey guys;

I did a search on this but didn't really get an answer so I'll try here.

I have a 2003 FLHTCI with Tru-duals, Rinehart exhaust,Thundermaxx ECI.

Today I was tooling around town, some highway, some regular street. I stopped
to pickup a couple of things from some stores, bike restarted fine each time. I stopped
for gas, and could not get the bike to start. Turned over fine but no fire. I recycled
the stop switch, thinking maybe I had accidentallyflipped it, no go. Recycled the ignition
switch, still no go so I pushed the bike away from the pumps to try something else.
Tried the starter again and it fired on first turn and away I went.

Could this be a problem with the Thundermaxx ECI ? I have noticed the bike running
a little rough at stoplights etc. Plugs look good and no loose wires that I could find.

Ideas?

Thanks

Dennis
