Installed Cams, won't run now??
Switched wires at injectors, nothing. No diagnostic codes. I really believe I am not getting fuel through that quick disconnect at the tank. Its made up correctly, but I can tell if fuel is getting through it. And yes, there is plenty of fuel in the tank. Not sure where to go from here. And I can hear the pump running so its not a connection to the pump.

If you pull on the quick connect going to the tank does it come out, is the O-ring still in there right? the retaining ring for the quick connect should do a click sound when it goes in properly?

If the bike ran fine before the cam install, your going to have to retrace your steps. Other then the items in the cam chest and pushrods, what else did you remove/disconnect for the job???
O2 sensors hooked up correctly? Don't think/know if it would make a difference but?????
If you can't figure it out, you may have to have a dealer use their scanalyzer to check all functions,sensors, etc.....

is there a fuse for the injectors? you say it runs when you squirt gas in the cylinders? sounds like the valve train and ignition are working fine. will it continue to run if you spray starting fluid in the intake?

Pondering that compression? My guess is since I assume it was running before the conversion, the little dots on the gears are off. Are you running yet?

"Went out to the garage and unhooked the fuel line from the tank and reconnected it. Tried to start and nothing. Pulled the plugs and put a little gas in the jug. It fired right up so fuel is the issue. Pump runs but doesn't sound like its building pressure, if I remember right. Any more ideas? Had the intake manifold off but didn't disassemble anything. Have to revisit tomorrow."

I know but to have it show up after cam instal leads me to beleive its human error.
