The Fatbob sat for several months. I would start it on a regular basis and warm up to operating temp. I took out and washed and detailed it the other day. Once complete I had to put it on the charger. Now it will still not start. Turns over fine but sounds like it doesnt want to fire. Checked the plugs and all look fine. Put fresh gas and a little treatment in the tank and still nothing. Anyone have any ideas before I have to take it to HD? Thanks.

 

Check for water in the PCIII connector. When you have it apart, put on some dielectric grease to keep it from happening again.

 

thanks. I will try that. hope it works.

 

Could be a simple bad battery issue. Was it left in the bike over winter, and would it have gotten cold enough to freeze?

If that happens it can begin to not take a charge, or just stop working all together.
Your local autozone will test it for free.

Also check your battery connections make sure they are tight.

 

it is turning over but just not firing.

 

Thats what mine did with a bad battery.
or it would turn over then start clicking.

if its a fuel burn or fuel delivery issue, I would start by checking your plugs to make sure they are not fouled.

then since it's fuel injected, hope its under warranty

 

do you hear your fuel pump when you turn your switches? if not check your fuses and relays. My system relay went out, it actually functioned but there was corrosion on the contacts. I just took it apart and cleaned it up so I could ride. It took about a week for the dealer to get one in for me. Mine would turn over just fine, but I knew something was wrong, cuz the fuel pump would never come on.

 

my bet somethings wet and by the way once you put it away dont start it leave a tender on it all you are doing is creating condensation

 

Mine is a problem with the ignition tumbler...06 street bob...when I turn the key and press the run button...sometimes I do not hear the p.o.s.t (supposed to humm for two or three seconds)and it will not start...if I fool around with it I can get it to contact and its ok...waiting for a new one from harley...been 11 days so far...nothing!!!

 

I am hearing the fuel pump run for a few when I turn the ignition. Still checking to see if I can find something wet.
