My first post so bear with me.
I have a 2002 fuel injected road king. My problem is this, sometimes when it sits for a week or so I have a problem with it staying running. It will start but will not stay running. It spits and sputters and dies. It will start right back up and do it again. It almost seems like it is not getting fuel. It will try to go and then cut out. But it doesnt do it all the time. It is only every now and then and seems to do it when it has sit for about a week. I can get on it an hour later and she will start up and run fine. I took it to the shop and of course she ran fine all the way there. They kept it for a week and tried to get it to do it again and she wouldnt. Does anyone have a clue what the cure to my problem is? Fuel pump? Injectors need cleaning? I dont know............

 

I would say fuel pump or fuel cap, efi requires pressure if it cant build up pressure it might starve for fuel.....the next question is which EFI the MM or Delphi? MM has the fuel relief on the intake and the Delhi has it in the tank.

 

willing to learn. How do I figure out if I have the MM or the Delphi? Do I need to read something on the bike or do I just need to know what I am looking at?

 

The MM EFI has a rectangler intake under the Aircleaner and Delphi is round like a Carb..

 

I believe for 2002 all bikes have the Delphi. I would do the K.I.S.S. method, first check the obvious. Is your battery fully charged? after a week a battery can get low and then have enough juice to start the bike, but not enough to keep it running.

If you don't have a Harley Service Manual, go get one.

 

Good Point Steelknee57.....and with the delphi you are exactly right the battery could be a culprit.

 

I actually put a new battery in it about a month ago so thats one thing I know I can check off the list.

 

If this is a fuel pump issue then why would it do it every now and then and not all the time? Is there a way to check the fuel pump?

 

Was it a H-D battery?

 

yes sir.......
