Moderator Posts: 22378 Re:Bike won't start 3 Years, 7 Months ago   WOW sitting for 3 years I suggest you have the carb clean with an ultra sonic vat. The carb needs all rubber and plastic removed and vatted with a vibratory vat. That will clean all the passages and jets out. As for what jetting you should have what air filter do you have on the bike? Your elevation is 594 ft so you can also put the in your profile. Some of the guys like to go with 37.5 or 40 pilot jets which are Mikuni jets the stock pilot is a 35 Mikuni jet. If you have no air or exhaust leaks I would start with a 35 Mikuni if the doesn't do it for you then move to a 37.5 or 40. The Mikuni jets have a R on them and a box inside a box symbol the pilot jets are marked on the side with the symbols and size. The main jet will depend on what air filter you have.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #793505 rstodd (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 94 Re:Bike won't start 3 Years, 7 Months ago   i'm going to double check that what is on my profile is actually what i have the carb configured to. i'll repost any changes. thx guys   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #793579 rstodd (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 94 Re:Bike won't start 3 Years, 7 Months ago   Noticed that when I turned the key switch on the fuel pump didn't turn over. The relay/module before the pump clicks once and stops. Anyone had this issue? I'm assuming it is bad cuz it isn't normal. Module/ pump replacement? I don't know. Both? Sure   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #793585 SKWEARpeg (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 12885 Re:Bike won't start 3 Years, 7 Months ago   rstodd wrote: Noticed that when I turned the key switch on the fuel pump didn't turn over.

Sure If the bowl is full of fuel, the pump won't run, until the level drop and relieves the pressure on the needle and seat. If you think it is the pump, you can run a piece of 5/16 fuel line, directly from the petcock on the tank to the carb, and try that. The bike will run fine like that, to test it out.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #793589 rstodd (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 94 Re:Bike won't start 3 Years, 7 Months ago   The carb was bone dry. Just gravity fed gas to the carb by rigging up a bottle and some fittings and it started on the first attempt.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #793591 SKWEARpeg (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 12885 Re:Bike won't start 3 Years, 7 Months ago   rstodd wrote: The carb was bone dry.

You can get by without the pump.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #793599 rstodd (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 94 Re:Bike won't start 3 Years, 7 Months ago   Rgr thx   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #793606 rstodd (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 94 Re:Bike won't start 3 Years, 7 Months ago   So the issue was a couple years ago I relocated the fuel pump to under the right side seat covers. It was a post I saw on this site. The fuel wasn't making it down to the pump and back up to the carb. I think it's the relay but does anyone know how to test the pump?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #793617 SKWEARpeg (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 12885 Re:Bike won't start 3 Years, 7 Months ago   rstodd wrote: So the issue was a couple years ago I relocated the fuel pump to under the right side seat covers.

Turn the key on(don't start the bike), and have the hose running to the carb not attached. It should pump fuel out onto the ground(or into a jug) non-stop.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
