I found my problem fuel pressure regulator blown out large o-ring shooting fuel .Harley-davidson in my town said back order. So I went to Napa autoparts they had fuel o-rings we measured for a tight fit so the black cap snapped tight with a little seafoam lubrication around the o-ring .installed the complete pump /gauge back in tank . Fires up bike and took it on the highway. I-295 . Didn't hesitate or back fire and ran like a dream. Thank you for helping me .
OK, earlier in this very thread you had an issue that you fixed by finding issues in your fuel system..... it appears we are back to your fuel system is not delivering fuel......
Now you need to check the things that Max listed in his last post....
Since you have already fixed some issues in your tank, I would strongly suggest that you follow Max's advice and get a fuel pressure gauge. If you hook it up to your tank fuel line connector, and you get proper pressure there, it will confirm your repairs to the tank fuel components. You won't have to take the tank guts out again...
If you get proper fuel pressure at the tank connector, you'll know the issue is with the parts between the tank, to the throttle body....
By the way, I forgot if you said you hear the fuel pump pressurize the tank lines when you turn on the key/run switch....
Stick with it, you're almost there...

In no particular order.
Quick disconnect on the bottom of fuel tank. Either the disconnect or the fuel line to the injector manifold.
Plugged fuel filter.
Cracked regulator housing.
Leaky fuel lines inside the tank.
Bad pressure regulator.
Bad fuel pump.
Bad injectors.
IMO if you are serious about working on your bike you need to purchase a fuel pressure gauge. It is important as a DVM or compression tester.
