#291328 pfouts (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 24 bike wont start 1 Year, 11 Months ago   I rode last Sunday for about 50 miles. Parked it no problems. When I tried to crank it up on Wednesday all it would do is turn over. I put in fresh gas and changed the plugs. It is firing. Any suggestions?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #291332 TVoso (User) God moves mountians. Faith and prayer moves God. Expert Boarder Posts: 532 Re:bike wont start 1 Year, 11 Months ago   I turn my gas off every night. Check the petcock, also when you turn it on, do you hear the fuel pump? It's the clicking noise you SHOULD hear. Two things I really don't like doing. . .troubleshooting fuel problems and electrical problems.

Moderator Posts: 3178 Re:bike wont start 1 Year, 11 Months ago   It depends on if there's enough fuel in the float bowl already, then it won't click. But if your bike has sat for a while, then it should click either a little or a lot.   Logged     FREE SPIRIT 2007 Silverado   The administrator has disabled public write access. #291340 Flashback (Moderator) Just the facts, Ma'am..

Depends on if the pump senses a low pressure condition...which is usually the case if the bike has sat for a few hours and the gas in the bowl has evaporated a little... yea like Papatom said....he's got faster fingers...   Logged     Last Edit: 2010/06/23 09:40 By Flashback.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #291341 Darn (User) Don't forget, Never forget. Platinum Boarder Posts: 7097 Re:bike wont start 1 Year, 11 Months ago   Need 4 things, gas, spark and air and exhaust. Has to be one of them, and if you have spark, your down to the gas or air exhaust.   Logged     Last Edit: 2010/06/23 09:30 By Darn.   Free, personalized tra   The administrator has disabled public write access. #291416 pfouts (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 24 Re:bike wont start 1 Year, 11 Months ago   i put 12 volts straight to the pump and it took off. when i covered up the hole it would stop when it built up pressure but it would not start back up again by removing my finger. i had to remove the voltage then reapply it for the pump to start back up. im not sure if its gonna be the relay or pump...any suggestions? called my dealer to get a price on a fuel pump and he told me they had never seen a fuel pump go out   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #291417 silver_fox (User) I wanna ride!

Put the end of it in a jar or bottle, turn the ignition on for a couple seconds and see if it pumps fuel. If it don't, check for power to the fuel pump. If you have power at the pump then the pump is bad. If no power check for a bad fuel relay/fuse.   Logged     Last Edit: 2010/06/23 18:27 By davej.   dave   The administrator has disabled public write access.
