If you need the instructions for removal of the top plate to get to the point of the following instructions post another request as it would be too long to add in here now.


Fuel Filter replacement instructions:


After you have removed the fuel tank top plate and find the ground wire spade terminal in the slot of the fuel filter shell. Then insert the tip of a small flat blade screwdriver through the window to depress a tang, and then pull the terminal from the slot and then gently raise the locking arm and pull the U-clip from the holes in the fuel filter shell and remove the fuel filter shell from the end cap and then also remove the o-ring and filter from the fuel filter shell. To reinstall a new filter in the fuel filter shell seat a new o-ring on the counterbore at the top of the filter and then install the fuel filter shell over the end cap, so that the slot in the fuel filter shell engages the index pin on the end cap and then. Holding the parts together, slide the U-clip through the holes on the locking arm side of the fuel filter shell and push the U-clip until its ends exit the holes on the opposite side and then retract U-clip until contact is made with the step in the locking arm. When that is done route the ground wire from top plate TORX screw around the index pin side of the end cap and install the spade terminal into the slot in the fuel filter shell and gently tug on the ground wire to verify that the terminal is locked in place. If the ground terminal does not lock in place properly use a thin flat blade,(like that on a hobby knife), to bend the tang outward slightly away from the terminal body. Then reinstall the top plate.

SOURCE: Seems like 04 Ultra Classic is getting to much fuel

Just a idea here, but I have heard the the fuel pump is also powered through the oil pressure sensor, the fuel pump relay starts the bike, and then the oil pressure switch takes over, as soon as it is running, caused by the oil pressure, that way if you tip it over, you loose oil pressure and it will kill fuel so it doesn't keep running.
So in therory, if you cranked it enough, build up oil pressure, and presto,,, it's running.
I'm sure that a real Harley mechanic can do better.
Thanks,
Paul

SOURCE: 2007 Harley-Davison Ultra Classic with 10K miles. check engine lamp stays on

Take it to a dealership and have them plug into Digital Technician. They can then tell you what code is causing the lite to stay on. Or you can buy a code reader from Harley for around a hundred bucks and read it yourself. I have one and it works great!

Assuming that all the fuel systems are not restricted in any way, maybe you have something wrong with the electrical system that is grounding out causing the malfunction.

Bike won't start. No voltage to fuel pump fuse on 2008 Ultra Classic Electra Glide. Have power on all other fuses. Any suggestions?

Get some good electrical cleaner spray displays that connection scrubber with alcohol, make sure the fuses good and try again pulled a plug-in out, even though you charge the battery make sure the battery has 12.67 V of starting juice. How was your battery may be needed. New battery
