HD Bad Gas Question

[Iowa 409 Guy]

Fuel injected. Old crap gas. Drained tank. Clean gas, just old and smelly. Put seafoam in new gas. Pulled plugs and squirted gas in cylinders, screwed plugs back in and started several times. When turning switch on the motor light goes off telling me the system has fuel pressure.
Anyone have ideas/experience?

What are you asking? I'm kinda slow that way.

 

[Don Jacks]

Injectors plugged or not getting trigger signal would be my guess.

And thats why carbs are so sweet!
Dave pulls the front tires off the ground with Crusher but weeps lifting the hood of FI car.

Did you vent air out of FI schrader valve? What is the car?

Any idea if seafoam will loosen up the crud in the injectors Don? Would you explain trigger signal to me? FI Is foreign language to me.

Don's suggestion sounds like a good one. Could you keep it running like we used to with a stubborn carbureted engine by squirting fuel into the throttle bores? Maybe the engine needs a good coaxing.

Do you hear the pump run?

Several times coaxing by pulling the plugs and priming, but will try that.

Take one of those hydraulic pistol grip oil cans, fill it with fuel and squirt it in?

Huh... can't hear too good James. I'll get closer. When I turn on the ignition it does the normal motor icon light on the dash until the fuel pressure is up, then the light goes out.

Will do.

 

[Fathead Racing]

Will do.

Keep a fire extinguisher at hands reach.

Light doesn’t mean you have fuel psi. What year is the bike.

Or borrow Ray's gun !!!, you said it was as big as a fridge- right.

 

[Fathead Racing]

I liked James question, the pump will run for a brief time when the key is in the run position. Can you hear that?

 

[Iowa 409 Guy]

Checking some stuff tomorrow. Thanks
