Starting fluid was a 1 shot deal. Now to fix the problem. If I can find some info on removing injectors, if definitely wouldn't hurt to clean them. Once there clean, only thing left would be something with the fuel pump assembly.

Tanks back off. Going to recheck all wires and connections. Can anyone provide info/service pages on removing injectors? I'd like to pull them and have cleaned tomorrow.

Did you get the info you needed? I can send a copy tomorrow or type it up tonight. The copy will have illustrations obviously the latter will not. Figured I would check to see if you still need it.

Just wondering if you've got spark. My wife's 01 road king would not start no spark. Talked to my local dealers service manager and he told me to change the crank position sensor, so I did and it fired right up.

Yes I do have spark at both plugs.

JCB- I'm still searching for the docs. If you can forward them to me tomorrow, that would be great.

Pulling the injectors really isn't that bad, left torx head is at an odd angle and I stripped it out. Spent 1.5hrs, slowing grinding head off with dremel. Once head was off, both injectors pulled out at the same time. HD makes a tool to remove injectors from ?fuelrail? but I was able to carefully pry out with flathead. I took several pics along the way.

To clean I rigged up a poorboy injector cleaner, (thanks youtube) and tried to clean ea. one. Front injector cleaned and sprayed perfect, Rear injector would just click and failed to spray anything. Assuming it is bad and this is the culprit for engine not firing. (hard to start if only 50% of your injectors are working). I am going to hopefully locate an injector in the morning and should have an update sometime tomorrow.

Any thoughts for my situation up to this point......

I'm attaching a few small pics below, I can post larger if needed.
