Thanks, we'll eventually get her running. As far as the fuel pump, I heard a click when I first turned it on, but nothing after that. We'll see how it goes this evening.

Alright, i tried the starter fluid today, took off the air filter and blew it into the carb. Turned it over and it started on the second compression. Seemed to run fine after that. I shut her down after about two minutes. Started without the fluid and again it fired right up.
I checked the oil in the upper reservoir and it registers empty. Oil splashes on the stick when it starts (or attempts to start) but there is very little in that upper reservoir. I'm not real familiar with the semi-dry sump system, how long does it generally take to pump the oil back into the upper reservoir after the bike has been sitting for a long period of time? I know yamaha recommends 15 minutes of drive time, but i wanted to make sure i had sufficient oil before i went cruising all over the neighborhood.
Thanks again for the help, nothing better than the sound of a new bike running. Huge sigh of relief  |

The fuel pump should only click for a short while until pressure is up. Below is a post I made from another thread. You may want to consider...
Sometimes when I attempt starting my scoot during colder temps it just doesn't want to kick. I then have to push the *choke* in half way and crank the engine. Once it begins to respond by firing, I pull out the *choke* again and it starts.

Sometimes, when it's really cold mine will start, run a couple seconds, & cut off even with the enrichner (choke) pulled all the way out. I just twist the throttle a couple times to squirt a little extra gas in the carb. Gives it a little extra fuel to help it start, kinda' like what you're doing with the starting fluid. You can try that & see if it works. As for the dipstick, don't pay a lot of attention to it. The oil is all down in the bottom of the crankcase from sitting. Get it running, bring it up to temp, then check it.
