3rd time is a charm? Have a 2002 EFI Road King that was parked over 8 months. Changed oil, oil filter, tranny fluid, flushed and replaced gas, replaced leaky fuel line, and bought a new battery. Engine turns over but does not start. Replaced plugs and still does not start. Added Techron fuel injector cleaner and still no go. Done all I know what to do. Thinking about calling a mobile mechanic unless there is something you see that I have missed.
Air, fuel, spark. Take off air cleaner and hold it up to a light. Clean? Turn it over.... is fuel reaching the injectors? Is it getting a spark? Did it run fine 8 months ago? My guess is fuel line is clogged somewhere but I am not there. Good luck.
Busy afternoon in Okinawa:
Bled and refilled all three holes, finished upgrading my my crankcase breather and pulled off the gutted headpipe and installed a set of Cobra Powerports and Big Louie 4" Mufflers with 2.5" baffles, then loaded my new tune....
Then a few beers
Twistedturbo - I like it. What turbo you going with? What have you done to the motor? Cam, crank, displacement?
Thanks VRADMAN. I'm going with Trask for the turbo. Revolution trued the crank along with balancing and welding. S&S did the case bore and timkin. It's got 117 s&s jugs with CP Pistons and rods. 259e cams sitting in a fueling high flow pump. Heads are ported and polished. I'm not so sure about the cam but it should make decent power for now this way.
You'll notice a difference in performance with the stock filter. Suggest K&N again and any cover that allows some forced airflow. I use the bobber with the opening pointed forward. Simple, subtle and works well.

I am completely stock with original Keihin carb. It does have a KN filter, but the plate is warped and I want to update.
I have been looking at the big suckers, but would appreciate some input.
I will probably just go back to the OEM filter for now.
Thanks all
Nothin' fancy.
OK...so do tell. Must be running well if you're up to all this. How was the ride? How's she runnin?
