starting problems 03 elctra glide
i had to weld a broken exhaust pipe and brackets on 7/12. it did not start right up when i was done. did not think twice...no big deal. started on the 2nd time.
over the weekend it took 3 or 4 times to get it started. not sure if its not getting fuel? also sometimes when i crack open the throttle it stutters. dont have the money to take it to the dealer...and my friends have no idea? i ride every day. any ideas?
i would also like to post a video of how it sounds when it does not start. can i do that on the hdforum? this way you guys might be able to help me better. thanks,vinnie

Is the bike injected or carb?

I had a similar problem on my 06. The quick disconnect on the fuel line where it goes into the tank wasn't fully snapped onto place. Try pushing the collar up and removing the fuel line and clean under the collar with some electrical parts cleaner. Got a bunch of dirt out of mine. Then snap the line back in, it in there and spin the collar around and make sure it is locked fully in.

Does it do nothing, or just not fire? Mine is starting to just do nothing on occasion. I am going to tear into it soon. My wrench told me to undo the starter where the 3 screws hold it on. Pull out the rod and clean off the brushes with emery paper. Could also be the relay under the seat as well.
