Need some advice please....
I bought this bike from a friend of mine...He barely rode it and for the past year and a half he hasn't started it. I went to go work on it yesterday and the engine will not kick over.
i sprayed Starting Fluid in the Air Filter and she turned over for about 5 Seconds before shutting off. I feel like its a fuel issue.
vaccum seemed good going from the engine to the fuel pump...however the flow from the fuel pump to the carbs seems week. it did not change when i tried to start the engine...the flow stayed constant, there was no "squirt" of the gas.
before i go ripping off the fuel pump or the carbs, i want to know if anyone has had this experience with these bikes. the bike only has 3,400 miles on it!
what is the most simple approach to troubleshoot this problem:
1. take off fuel pump - either get a new one or clean existing one (if possible)
2. clean carbs and see where she goes from there.
thanks,
any help or diagrams would be most appreciated
