I have a 1300 VTX and i"m having a problem starting, I started it yesterday and it was cold and I hit the gas and it stalled. It made like a "Puff" sound. I tried to start it again but it wouldn't start. I went out this morning and tried to start it and it cranks but won't fire. The bike has spark and a fully charged battery. I checked the hoses on the fuel petcock and they are all on. Is there a fuse for the fuel pump? If anyone could help please help.

You need to pull the gas tank off and find out where it is leaking. I would say it is probaby something simple like a loose clamp on a fuel line.
Testimonial: "thanks. It was exactly what you thought. I took the tank off, the main pipe that goes from tank to the carb had come off. Put it back on and walah."
SOURCE: gas is dripping from the petcock fuel valve( cover
Your bike has a vacuum operated petcock. The vacuum diaphram inside the cover set has cracked and is allowing fuel to leak from the vent hole. Unfortunately, you cannot buy just the diaphram, you've got to buy the cover set (#5 in the picture below), P/N 16953-KEA-023, or replace the whole petcock assembly (item #2), P/N 16950-MEM-674.
Testimonial: "i was afraid of that, thanks so much for thge help"

Yeah that first solution was way off. You can tell that guy reads too much into the books. The mototech guy is right. Never use car based oils in your bike. That's why you have two plugs to drain the oil. One is for the engine oil the other is for the gearbox and wet clutch. There is no dextron etc. "transmission fluid" for bikes it's run off the same motor oil, and YES! any mechanic will tell you that synthetics like AMSOIL are better for your bike than a regular non-synthetic that breaks down a lot easier in heat. Which brings me to my next point I live in Florida where it gets pretty hot and i use AMSOIL synthetic 22W-50 in my Honda VTX.
SOURCE: my vtx 1300 stalls is there a internal fuel
not, but if you search vtxcafe.com, you will either find the answer or find someone to help you.
