Great video Rocco! I have the same problem. Couldn’t read codes on my ‘03 so to the dealer it went. Charged me 2 hours to tell me it’s the regulator, then wanted me to buy the $400 pump kit. Put the bike on the trailer and brought it home. I might get the kit anyway ‘cuz the bike’s 22 years old, but at least I know how to do this repair, and not get charged another $6-700!! Thanks so much…

[@TwoWheelRocco]

It's hard, They can only get you once. Use KZbin and whatever help you can get. Most of these bikes are reasonably easy to fix.

I've reused those screws in a pinch but technically according to the Harley service manual those screws are supposed to be a one time use only & so is the gasket, in case you didn't know....I did mine on my 03 RK about 6 years ago.

[@obfuscated3090]

Excellent video! I forwarded this to my bro to show him in advance what we'll do when he gets the parts. The way you did the video is MUCH better than me trying to explain it by email! When I disturb those pumps I replace the hoses as they tend to crack from a mix of old age and handling. The parts are cheap. A recent bike may still have supple hoses but they do dry out over time in the hot southeast. Unless money is super tight and that bike is my only transportation I prefer to replace pump, hoses, filter etc same as I do on any car or truck since the labor however little is not worth it to me to do more than as rarely as possible.

But check valves fail, you can't win. I think this is designed by the dealer to get you to trade your bike in. That's just my thought take a look at the video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y2rGqZirh8pnaK8.

Thanks for the video. I have a 2003 heritage springer fi .put a new battery in it and it fired right up. Rode about a quarter of a mile and it started missing and tried to cut off. Got it home and smelled gas,it was leaking from the check valve. Fuel pump was working but had to get in the tank to change the check valve and noticed the pickup screen was detearated . Ended up taking everything out, after it was out all the fuel lines crumbled just touching them.went to the Harley shop to get new parts. Harley didn't have much in stock that I needed so I ask for after market parts which they proceeded to help me with only to find out they where sold out could put it on back order but wasn't sure if or when I would get it. Was gonna use my old pump till I started to pull the gas line off it and it crumbledoff to the housing. If your bike is this old it wouldn't hurtto get the complete unite if you can find one. The one that was sold out wasn't but $399.99 with everything but the check valve. I've spent over $600.00 and still haven't got all I need to get it going. Thanks for all the help your sharing. Just wanted to add if you can find ityou better get it before you have to make your own parts. They are getting really hard to get! Have a blessed day !

Greetings Rocco, i cant thank you enough for your videos….they are all step by step, with nice tips and things to be aware of, yet they are consise as you dont talk about things that have nothing to do eith the fix, like most other videos. My question, 2005 RK custom ( fuel injected) i have a constant whine coming from tank, almost like fuel pumo never shuts off after start … But my ride is solid?

Very informative video my friend , can I ask what the symptoms were that led you to the regulator ?

[@TwoWheelRocco]

Happy to help. The problem was the regulator housing. What happened was I was making a turn and it shattered and then die. I started it, I only had to get a mile to my house. It was losing power, Really I was losing fuel injection pressure. I've have had a bad check valve and you could hear the bubbling in the tank when trying to start and it idle badly. but you can get it to run. Regulator housing will ended up with a no start bike. Thank you for watching and your sub T Lot.. Any questions just ask. Ride safe and have a great day. I hope that helps. Open the tank, you will see the O-ring bulging out the side where the housing failed.

Hey Rocco! Nice work explaining this. I have recently purchased a used 2008 Deluxe with 6,500 miles. I’ve been riding it and it now has approximately 7,200 miles on her. The other night I pulled into the garage and there is a slight humming noise from the gas tank. I was totally lost on what it might be so I started researching it. There isn’t a loss of power, yet, or any other issues. I think I might have caught it prior to things going bad. Question I have is; before I start removing the parts to uncover the fuel system what do you think it might be? I’ve read it might be a dirty fuel filter. Maybe it’s the pump itself. Or maybe it’s what you replaced. Any thoughts?? I’d like to purchase some parts ahead but maybe I should wait until we see what the actual issue is. I just know it wasn’t making that sound before. Thanks !!

Happy to help. I would take my time and let the problem expose itself a little more. Don't go looking for ghosts.

[@obfuscated3090]

Pumps hum when they run. In a quiet environment remove your fuel tank cap and turn the ignition key to power on the system but don't start the motorcycle. You'll hear the pump hum just like you will on a car or truck (with the door open if it's a very quiet car or truck) since EFI fuel pumps run briefly when powered on. Do either buy or download a copy of the FACTORY service manual, and either buy a factory parts catalog or use one of the online versions from vendors for the exploded views. Harley tech data is generally very good. Forums get into useful detail so use those AND KZbin videos to learn about your beast. I drain the gas tank on any bike that old (I just pull them in my yard and have a funnel and container ready) because no ordinary user does that and nearly every fuel tank (bikes, cars, truck, mowers..) will have some water due to moisture condensation. When I get a used bike with low miles I know it sat for much of its life. Then I fill with non-ethanol fuel and put some miles on. I also replace brake and fork fluid (the vast majority of owners fail to do so) when I get a used machine. HDs are simple, mostly easy to wrench and have unsurpassed aftermarket support making them practical lifetime motorcycles.

My 14 softail is not firing up after sitting for several months. The first prime sounded like air whooshing. Will not start. Subsequent primes I hear a trickling sound. Is the trickle sound of gasoline inside the tank abnormal? Meaning that I have a broken hose or regulator housing? If not maybe the gas got old?

[@TwoWheelRocco]

Happy to help. My Softail, the check valve failed. My Road King the Pressure ragulator housing failed. If you hear bubbling in your tank that would be the check valve hose. I will send you a video where I repair one. If you fill the tank up with gas and try to start it, let us know what it does. It will cover the spot where you have the hose has a hole. Let's see what that does. Thank you for watching and your sub John. Ride safe and have a great day. I will send video of my softail Softail. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y2rGqZirh8pnaK8. Let us know how this work out.

@@TwoWheelRocco I thought I previously replied to this already, but this is what I did: 1. Siphoned out (most of) the fuel 2. Open up top of tank, attempted to remove the top piece (containing fuel filter & regulator). It suddenly got loose and came right out, both fuel hoses cracked off. 3. Instead of trying aftermarket hose replacements, which I saw mixed reviews about how long they stay attached, I bought OEM a new fuel pump assembly and the quick connect hose, along with a new filter and a new inside vapor hose. 4. Added new fuel and it started right up. Not sure if the old fuel is usable or not, or part of the problem, but clearly those fuel hoses have a shelf life with E10 fuel, they became as brittle as uncooked long ziti.

[@TwoWheelRocco]

Happy to read all went well. It's a shame those hoses are that weak.I know you were happy when you hit that start button, then she started up. And that's what it's all about. Thank you for watching. and your support John. Ride safe and have a great day.

Hey Rocco earlier this week I talked to you about charging system on my 2007 electra glide ultra classic. I have replaced everything and for some reason unless I jump it ,it will not start.any ideas? All this started after I had so.e trans work done

[@TwoWheelRocco]

We talked about this, sounds like bad battery. if you could jumpstart it. that suggest to me that your battery has minimal cold crank amps. I don't see any other option. You have to put the battery to rest. It does not have the crank amps. buy a battery $130. What other options do you have starter, transmission what are you suggesting. Let us know how it works out. I know it's frustrating but I have had the same scenario Bad Battery reached 12.8 but won't turn the motor over. Put a jumpstart on it and you got the power to get the job done. What's the worst that happens. You have an extra battery in the big picture that's the cheapest way out.

[@radosremodeling]

@@TwoWheelRocco i have done that since we last chatted ,I have replaced stator, voltage regulator, battery, starter, its driving me nuts. Sounds crazy but never happened prior to having some trans work done,also changed compensator at same time

Hi question what is the symptoms of the bike when that happened ?

[@TwoWheelRocco]

The bike will start idling funny. Then it will die. Start up and then never run again until you fix that regulator housing. Hope that helps. Any questions just ask. Thank you for watching and your sub Jesse. Ride safe and have a great day. What is your bike doing?

[@MrBradfordchild]

Hi Rocco, Thanks! Again! I've had the parts on order for a while, got em all. Short story , needed to replace the quick release and fuel line to injector body because of bodge job to get going 1500 miles from home (it was a perished o ring in the quick release). So, I figured while I'm in there I'll just replace everything . ( very low mileage 15 year old bike}. My thinking was the hoses might be getting old and brittle, but I think they look nicer than the replacement hoses. More flexible. I thought they were brown from age, but maybe thats the material they are made from? Anyway, thanks again from Australia. I always check for a video from you before I work on the bike, your primary tutorial was a great help also! Is your accent Long Island? Kind Regards, Brad

Do not try to do an O-ring on the check valve. Does not work out well, New ones will be clear white, The old ones will turn yellow. Let us know how it works out. Ride safe and have a great day.

I can see fuel moving around in my tank and spraying when level is low enough when I cycle the ignition. Bike runs fine. Fuel pump primes and shuts off. Is that normal or is my housing failing?

[@TwoWheelRocco]

Happy to help. Sounds like your check valve is failing. As the tank gets empty your idle will get funny at red lights. And it will get worse.

[@perryfefchuk637]

Never use screw clamp , you will be doing it right all over again !!!😊

Thank you for watching and all your support Perry. Ride Safe and have a great day. And I do agree with you you should not use the screw type clamps on a fuel injection set up.

[@randymccalla9995]

I think you have the right idea, about the problem of the bike running strangely, however you don't seem to realize that working on top of the tank....all you need is a spark...one little spark..and you may get a ride to the hospital..Your removal doesn't show how you removed the fuel from the tank, and the pump unit should make it to the workbench ??? You're to brave for me.. Ps. I have removed fuel pumps four times now.

[@davidjohnson7847]

Hey Rocco, im trying to diagnose my issues on a 2001 Roadking with fuel injection. The bike starts fine, and then idles fine for a few minutes, then the idle begins to slow and its like the bike is coughing. Could this be pump issues or idle/sensor issues?

[@TwoWheelRocco]

Happy to help. Sounds like your fuel pump regulator housing has a cracked. Or your check valve has a hole in the line. Two Notorious problems. You will need to open it up and inspect and replace regulator housing. if there's a hole in your check valve line you will replace that line. Remove your gas cap and activate fuel pump, If you hear air bubbling in your gas tank. Your check valve hose has a hole in the line. Let us know how it works out.

[@TwoWheelRocco]

@@davidjohnson7847 there is only one check valve yes there's more than one set of hoses but the check valve is actually the connector that goes to your injectors so the check valve is what you looking at on the left side of your gas tank that connects to your fuel injection hose so that would be one but yes there's multiple hoses you have to go in there and take a look.

Hey man, for some reason my bike won't start. and it appears I have no fuel flowing out of my tank. Do you have any idea why?

Happy to help. Do you hear the fuel pump activated? If so take the gas cap off and listen for air bubble noise in the tank the pump is pressurizing.

What was the bike doing to make you know it was the fuel pump/regulator housing)

[@TwoWheelRocco]

Who the help. Started running really poor really quick. A bad fuel pump line would be a slow disintegrate of performance. First it will affect your idle and sucking air and causing it to backfire and pop. It went to a No start situation very fast within 2 3 miles.

That is very vague. Do you hear a fuel pump activate when you try to start? That would be an indication if you don't hear that pump you have a bad pump if you hear the pump.
