Thank you 53Indian for the thoughtful reply. Your comment about the factory keyed ignition switch was spot on. If you order the ebay switch like I did they have the 100 ohm resistor wired incorrectly and will not work as is. I went back and wired up the tank mounted Harley style switch and poof many issues are taken care of. I also have now replaced everything from fuel pump to injectors, lines, filter, and clean the little screen on the fuel pressure reg.
As it's sits now it will start easily on starting fluid but dies once that's used up so it appears I'm still not getting fuel. Next step check fuel pressure. I can hear the pump prime and shut off so that's good any other ideas? I have the power commander 3 which possibly complicates things I wonder should I remove it to simplify things at this point ?
