after doing research on the power commander i finally pulled the trigger and ordered one form fuel moto..last night i hooked it up as per directions did everything but set throttle position..bike ran for 30 seconds and cut off...flooded the hell out of it, raw fuel dripping out of exhaust....just my luck..unplugged everything and hooked it back to stock and still it will not crank..checked fuses and pulled the plugs, they have a stong smell of gas on them. This morning i went out and tried to crank and still it just turns and wont fire..am going to buy new plugs today and try that..called Keth at fuel moto yesterday he said he has never heard of anything like that happening. i sure hope i haven't fried the ecm,well i guess after i get the bike running i will hook the PC up to the computer and see if they can tell me what the problem is..kind of gun shy now and dont know if i should do a PC. Has anyone had this problem and any ideas of what else to check....thanks

ok guys sorry it took so long to give you the results, my Indy was really busy and then he was on vacation the week of memorial day and i was away last week, but he did call me last Tuesday with the answer to the problem ........and no it wasn't out of gas but something almost as stupid.... after trouble shooting the bike doing compression test etc, he thought it had a bad injector.. he got to looking around and guess what he found???? this little black box velcroed under the frame with wires going from that to the bikes wiring harness and to the injectors...a little cheap fuel managemnet box that didn't even dawn on me was on the bike, when i bought the bike it was on consignment and the dealer said it only had the download filter and true duals.. so anyway when i plugged the PC III up it fried that box and made the rear injector hang wide open...so instead of only spending 250 i end up spending 475 for 2 1/2 hour labor plus oil change and i also bought a PC III from him, i would have used the PC from FM but i had sent that back on the 24th.... also want to say that Jamie and the guys at FM did everything they could to try and help me with the problem...oh well live and learn...
