Hello all!
Starting this thread here in the technical section to keep the information where it should be. I introduced myself (and my dad) in the introductions area, and the ball started rolling there.

The issue is my dad (85 years old) has 2010 NT700V with 22,000 miles that was running fine. Too fine. He never did check and adjust the valves (which he shouldn't have done anyway since they were all in spec, he just loosened up an exhaust valve or two) until now. After putting it all back together, he started it twice and let it idle shortly. Then he lifted gas tank one more time for something (IDK why) and now it won't start. The fuel pump wouldn't make noise, and his checks show that there is no power coming out of the main harness to fuel pump harness.
All fuses are good, and he swapped one of the relays out with the fuel pump relay, no change. The pump is functional, as it works when direct powered. The service manual is at hand.
After reading through the threads here, I sent him the info on checking the MIL light and reading any stored codes. Also learned that the Injector relay needs to be functioning for the pump relay to work. That will be checked also.
I feel that he messed with a connector or wire somewhere accidentally that is causing his headaches, and he is in the process of rechecking all the connections he could have had contact with.
Some good tips were given in the intro thread, and thanks in advance for future help. Nice site here!
Steve
