My bike was running fine one day until I stopped. About an hour later getting back on my bike it wouldn't start. I did try to jump it with my car, at the time not knowing you shouldn't do that. Got it back home. Put the Harley trickle charger on it. Tried to start unsuccessfully. Took the air cleaner off and sprayed starting fluid inside. The bike would start for about a second. Obviously I am having fuel delivery problems. I am not too familiar with EFI though and so I don't know where to start looking.
Whats interesting though is that sometimes when I turn by bike on my fuel tank gauge will light up with a weird sequence. For instance the first light will light red indicating that there is an empty tank but then the 3rd and fourth light will light up blue. The 2nd light will not light up at all. Could be a faulty gauge but I mention it because I wonder if its possible to have an electrical problem as well??
I was just looking for some advice on where to start troubleshooting. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Also worth mentioning is that when I turn on the bike and you can hear fuel being shot into the tank. I know that thats normal but my first question is why does that happen? Also I have noticed that that fuel shooting sound isn't as strong as i remember it.
