I'm almost certain it is the ignition box

The pump will only make the ticking sound a few times and then stops because it is up to pressure so i`m sorry to say it is probably not your fuel pump perhaps it may be your fuel filter and thats not so easy to change, it is just a hard place to get to and if you are lucky you can pull it up from under the seat enough to get at the clamps, good luck.

sorry to say that is not my issue but thanks for trying.

Thanks for the suggestions

No sorry to say vent line is clear and no hissing sound when you open the gas cap. Thank you for the help.

The battery is good and it has lots of power as it cranks the motor over like nobody's business. it cranks good and when cool fires right up, but when it dies i can crank and crank but it will not fire up, but the battery stays strong.

Hello and thank you for the welcome. I have never done this before, this is the first group or forum I have ever joined. I'm not the best with technology as I'm now 58 and worked construction all my life so not a lot of computers. I have a 2008 royal star tour deluxe that I have added a hopped fairing and a super trunk III and last fall it was like it ran out of gas I was going down the road and boom it quit after about an hour it started up and ran good, I put a new fuel filter and thought it was good, then it quit again, so I ordered and put a new fuel pump in, and now it is spring out again and I made it about 2 miles and it quit again. I have gone through the fuel lines completely and new air filters, I have installed a new pickup coil, and it quit yet again. I'm trying to fix my bike so I can ride it, I'm now disabled so I can't work and I don't have the money to just take it in to a shop. I'm hoping to get a direction or a place to look next. Sincerely JJ
