Went to Lake George got rained on Tuesday for 3 hrs in lot then a ride for 200 miles on Wednesday nice weather the Thursday morning hard to start finally running after 10 min went to get gas filled up the no start DAM !!!

Got call from MBH today their is a pigtail with 3fuzes near fuze box ,,I could not find it ,,anyways their was a blown fuze in this bundle they replaced fuze an bike runs WTF

Now got to go back for it never fails thought it was simple now glad to know what to look for

[hogv8]

So it must have been a fuse connected to the ignition or ignition switch ??

Hey still haveing starting issues an now no high idle after bike sits overnight turns over no start replaced fuel filter an installed psi gauge after filter
Does not register psi o when key turned on then cycle key 2-5 times it has psi an starts have to hold throttle open a tad till warmed up then it idles then after warmed up will start an run great all day
Bike has been in no rain an no moisture just difficult in first try to start making me nuts have been to dealer a few times still not right

Thinking ign switch or master relay ? Any ideas ?

[Butkicker]

Today it took 10 try's turning key then started an had a high idle ??? Went for a100 mile ride was perfect dam it's crazy

[Carl La Fong]

When everything went digital, the number of people who could diagnose problems, online, decreased in a geometric progression. That's why I will keep my early Dodge Cummins and my carbureted BH. At least I stand a good chance that I can fix them.
Does everything else work when you turn the key on? If the switch is bad, I would think that nothing would work, like the pumps, lights etc. Same with the master relay. If it is bad, nothing will work.

[Butkicker]

Nope everything else works just turns over ,but when starts will not idle till warmed up. Then starts an runs great all dam day.

Called dealer an he is discussing with factory hope it gets fixed soon

[Butkicker]

Just off phone with factory after a few tests an discussions looks like bad fuel pump new one on way tomorrow hope it fixes this makes a little sense that it clicks but not run when cold till it warms up then pump is loose enough to run might be why it blew fuze awhile back

Sure hope this is fix

[Iron Maiden]

Make sense -I hope it works - keep us posted.

[Butkicker]

Installed new pump an bike fires right up an idles ,! Yehaw. I think it be fixed ,hard to believe the bad pump caused so much trouble I am happy camper again went for long ride feels great

I Think most of the problems some of us have had with our fuel pumps is where they're located they don't get enough cooling air. I recently installed a new Holly Red along with I installed a 5" dia 320 CFM fan mounted in a location so it blows air directly on the fuel pump . I've had no problems since and I've felt the pump after a long ride in the heat and the pump is cool . Before the fan the pump would be warm .

[Butkicker]

Thanks Jack agree needs to stay cool mine is along side frame rail on left side not much heat as cooling in rear compared to my 2001 but fan idea may help it will look into setup of one Thanks good idea as pump is a lot more than holly red
