The next thing that I'd try is this. Do you hear the fuel pump run for a couple seconds after cranking.

 

Funny you should ask that.... I was noting fuel pump on before trying to start and tried 1 last time before loading into trailer. I cant say that I verified it was running after cranking though.

The 1st thing the service manager noted was the fuel pump is now not running when the key is turned on. A new failure mode and all I did was load it and transport it 35 miles.

 

I own 3 Harleys and my 2 Twin Cams are both at the same dealer, the '03 with a spun stator trashed case so need new cases with HD VIN stamp and the '13 with no fire. Only thing left is the '81 Shovelhead Sturgis. The 42 year old bike is the only thing that still works....

Old Faithful!

 

Problem solved - Dealership found the security system module tripped and for some reason the fuel pump relay that was working fine before I loaded in trailer had stopped working when unloaded at dealership. Replaced 2 modules and would start but poor performance. Found Power Commander V was faulted. Removed PCV and had better performance but stock tune. Replaced with Power Vision and dyno'd at 95hp, 108 Tq.

When I was trouble shooting I noticed 1 battery terminal was loose. I am thinking that loose battery terminal started the chain of events eventually faulting out 2 modules and the PCV. Of course when I installed the battery after checking the coil the damage was already done. I dont think I had checked the battery since it was installed in 2020. Seems I should make that part of my annual preventive maintenance.
