Is it the check engine light? It may be an error code that was fixed, but not cleared. |

If it is the fuel pump light, odds are its a loose, corroded or bad sending unit. HD uses crappy parts for the fuel systems if you ask me. |

Yes that would be fuel pump. Loose connection under the seat -tape it, I did. Could also be hole in the tubing in the tank. Not unheard of that breaking or developing small hole that allows for pressure lose and makes pump run extra. mark61 |

Depending on miles, it could be as simple as a fuel filter. If it reads a pressure drop, it will turn on the light; we just had an 04 Heritage doing the same thing. And by the way - that *is* the check engine light that comes on at key-on. Dual-purpose - wait to start, and check engine. |

Thanks for all of the helpful replies from our Harley folks. You might also want to consider posting the question on the "Critical Mass" board: that is the Harley specific board on this site. |

I agree with Mark61. We have seen many of these systems with holes chaffed in the fuel line in the tank. |
