ColoradoParadise Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Have a '92 FJ1200 that I've owned since new (now 96,000 miles). Was running fine before washing the bike a few days ago & now it won't start. Engine turns over but the fuel pump just clicks once and is done. Any ideas?

Moderator mervin Posted September 18, 2009 Moderator Share Posted September 18, 2009 well 96000 miles before washing it it must have been pretty mucky try spraying eletricals with WD40 to displace any water that has got into the wrong place I:E ignition leads, fuel pump, wiring etc Merv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FJ12SP Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Did you just wash with water & Shampoo or did you use a pressure washer, if the latter you have probably got water into one of the electrical connectors, I would strip down all the connectors (Most are behind the fairing & a pain in the arse to get at) clean and spray with a good electrical cleaner/insulator. You also say that the fuel pump clicks only once, either your carbs are full or the pump is on the way out, try draining some fuel from the carbs and see if the pump will then prime them (Multiple clicks when ignition turned on ) Adam.

polyester12000 Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 I agree, WD40 stands for water displacement- 40th try to get it right. i had the same problem with my truck...it took me 2 to 3 weeks to get the water out of all the wrong spots (ie right inside the computer) and dry it out as it happened in the winter here. WD40 was what made the difference on all connections made the difference. paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
