1 Does connector under the tank need to be hooked up to start bike. Sat Jun 02, 2018 7:12 pm

Dave and I are in the midst of troubleshooting why our newly bought bike won’t start. The fuel pump initially would not run so that was a mission Dave was on for the first half of the day. He now has the fuel pump running but during the process of me cleaning out the fuel tank, I bumped some wires on the fuel level sensor disconnecting them. I believe one was for the fuel pump connector that connects under the seat. Against my better judgement Dave decided he could try the newly fixed fuel pump without the pump connector . Below is the picture of his set up. When the starter was pushed, it would try to start but wouldn’t.
Question. By not having that connector hooked up, is that making an open circuit not allowing the bike to start? I hope that made sense. The pump ran, gas ran up and through the rail, but no start. Spark plug was wet.
