I have a 2000 Road King Police FLHPI.
Problem I am having is with fuel pump. I turn the ignition and hear the pump whine. Hit the start button and it fires up. Ride it just a block or so and it dies. (engine dies but all lights etc are still on)
When I switch the button to run I hear the fuel pump relay chatter and the fuel pump itself tries to whine, but never completes the full “whine cycle”. Eventually after repeated tries on the run switch the relay stops chattering completely and I get nothing.
If I let the bike sit for an hour or so I can complete the whole scenario over again. Hit the run switch Fuel pump whines as normal, bike starts then dies after a short trip. Back to relay chattering.
I have changed the fuel pump relay, battery voltages (appears) good, 12.6 at rest, 13.3 when running.
I have checked wiring for nicks. No engine codes.
Where should I look next? Appears fuel pump is working because the bike runs, but not for very long.
Does appear to be a short, as it runs for a period of time.
The "letting it sit" part is where I am stumped? Is it over heating issue? It never really runs long enough to get very hot.
I have service manual and schematics, I have been stuck in the garage far to long and I am trying not to give up and take it in. Any help is appreciated.
