02 X1 wouldn't start.

I gapped each plug. no change.

Put in stock ECM. No change.

Bought a new fuel pump and installed it - NO CHANGE.

Pulled the fuel filter and connected the lines directly. No pressure at the rail.

Followed the flow chart in the service manual- all voltages look perfect. It says SERVICE FUEL PUMP.

Added a TSP of fuel to cylinders- she ran for like 10 seconds..

I pulled the fuel line at the injector rail- no fuel with NEW pump running.

I puled the regulator "cup" off (2 screws). It comes right off. Is it supposed to be attached with a membrane? Or an O Ring? I don't see either...

It was recommended here to buy ECM spy, and the cable, which I did, and it told me nothing..

..and to send injectors to RC, which I did, and they came back pretty much as I sent them out.. No change.

There's like $140 wasted..

the real problem is, it seems, the fuel regulator.

So what's next? Are the regulators sold separately? Is it like the fuel pump, where HD charges 5X what I cant get them for elsewhere? Maybe I only need O rings?

Lets start with inexpensive solutions... So far its all $$ out the door and no results..

You are beginning to see why I prefer my 1952 Jaguar carburetor.

ELF-

I was thinking you could bring your buell over, we could run a fuel line from yours to mine, and see if she starts!

Nope, have the tank, fuel pump, and gas cap retaining ring/overflow vent valve, but no rubber gasket. Been a few years since I looked at it. Got a sheet of rubber inner tube material? Can't bring it over until you tell me where you are.

Sent a test message to myself: system works. Buell Boy, have sent you two PMs; spare tank is assembled and ready for you to swap in. Use a real name in your profile or be thought of as a troll.
