ok guys i have a problem! OMR this means you the bike turns over and the fuel pump primes but it wont fire some input would be great

 

got spark?

 

didnt check the plugs yet im guessing no

 

pinched fuel line?

 

i think it is wiring ! can the tip over sensor cause this ? i thought if it was set off the fuel pump wont prime

 

it wouldnt prime if it were the tip sensor... u obviously have no spark, check see if you get spark from the plugs

 

ya ill check in the morning i didnt have to much time to tear into it today. i just wanted to get some things to put on a check list so i can go through every thing it could be

 

coolant temp sensor, mine was doin the same thing til beardo told me bout it. its got three wires. one of mine was cut but would contact every now and then letting it start. mine has brand new plugs new fuel pump bypassed tip sensor and all... checked the coolant temp sensor sure enough that was it. doesnt miss a lick now. you have any probs finding it hit me up ill try to point you in the direction.

 

thanks man

 

hmmm.

 

well not entirely true... it will fire just hard starting when cold, funny thing is after i told buck about this problem the very next time i tried to start my bike it didnt want to start!!! same thing..... but mine would fire if i massaged the throttle a little, then slowly get itself running, once it was warmed up it ran fine, there is a three wire plyg directly below the throttle bodies, it goes to the coolant system, cant remember what it is called but if that is the prob your fi light will be stuck on, assumeing you have a cluster. this prob does not kill your spark.

 

bump!

 

it was running all day with no cool down breaks i went to stall on the mirror os a semi and it cut out like it was outta GAS I PUT GAS in it BUT STILL NOTHING turns over fine fuel pump is on just wont fire......

 

really need to know if your having a fuel, or spark issue! narrow that down, then it will be a lot easier to diagnose the problem.

 

i just took it apart i will know if its got spark in a lil bit

 

+1

Use starting fluid to find out.

 

if the pump primes then it is a spark problem. a couple years ago i had a weird problem where i had fuel and spark but the bike wouldnt run. once oi looked at the plugs more i found the insolator had cracked on all of them at once and the spark was firing side ways...bike wouldnt start. i replaced the plugs and the thing started and havent had a problem since.. that one took me awhile to figure out.

if you have a manual your best friend is the flow charts. follow them and youll find your problem in no time

 

sounds like my old problem...change those plugs

 

i dont know about that,when me a dean worked on drastic dan's bike awhile back,,it would prime but not fire....we switched out the tip and it started right up...

 

ok guys i got a gauge cluster from atown how do i get it to throw me a code?? and will it tell me whats exactly wrong with it?
