    Try to be a little more descriptive. What do you mean you had it started at idle? You cranked the engine again while idling? Describe the change in sound? Like a coughing of the engine? Air puff or blow back out of the intake? And the engine gets one or two what? The issue with diagnosing over a forum is you have to be very detailed. We'll do our best to help you

    I started the bike and had it in neutral. All has fine when the Harley off set sound stopped and was released by a solid almost humming sound. Than engine cut off. I tried to restart it and it won’t fire. I put new gas in in the hope that it was bad gas but that did not help. When I try to start it the fuel pump runs. I press the start and it will flash the engine light and may make one or two sounds like it is firing. (not a sound like a dead car battery) or like one or two fires than nothing.
