Default fuel issue I think

I'm new to all this but I just bought an '05 Heritage with low miles. It's been running like a tornado until today. It quit like somebody turned off the lights. No sputtering, no coughing, just quiet. All fuses good & I have spark. The lights work & I can hear the fuel pump cycling when I turn on the ignition so I assume that's not the problem. Motor turns over. Any clues for the clueless?

Post this in the Softail section and you should get a better response. Could be your fuel filter in the tank. Mkae sure your fuel line is firmly attached as well. I read a thread where a guy had the quick disconnect break on him and had the same problem. Softail section is here. https://www.hdforums.com/forum/softail-models-7/
