Hey there. New member. Just got this bike. Had a no fire on number four. Changed oil and put some small engine fuel treatment in tank. Went to start bike. Fired right up no problem then died. Pulled the line off the petcock, good flow. Pulled the tank but left fuel in the main fuel line Watched fuel level in line as bike cranked. Did not seem to be drawing any fuel. Has good spark. If i spray quick start into a carb bike will fire. What the hell have I done? Should I try compressed air into the main fuel inlet?

try the quickstart with the tank back on, is it a vacuum operater petcock and is the connection (vacuum) good?

Greetings and

Giton,

Yes and yes. This all happened last night. Today when I got home. I tried the bike. Fired in like 1/2 a crank. I have no idea what it ran on?? I'm charging the battery now and will put tank back on and set petcock to prime and see what happens...

Git,

I don't know what the hell you did, but that worked! Just got back from a ride. The only theory I have is that It may have been flooded last night and the battery was too low to get a enough rpm to start properly last night and earlier tonight. Lesson learned. FULL CHOKE and battery FULLY charged if shes dead cold.

yeah that'll be it glad you got it sorted

Just me own thinking but ,,,,,,,,, stay away from that fuel treatment shite,,,,,,pure petrol is what your engine wants,,,,,,,, not some made-up cleaning shit,,,,,,,these only work for cleaning injectors on diesel engines that havent been driven hard
