slice Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Hi, I think you may have missed the point of OGs comment, this section is to introduce your self, just like you would in the pub or on the side of the road, you wouldnt just rock up to someone and say "MY BIKES BROKE HOW DO I FIX IT?" would you? So say Hi and tell us where your from and what bike you have and then go to the "WORKSHOP" section and post your problem there, some one will know about your problem and get back to you with a fix or maybe your the first one to have this problem and so everyone will have a great time trying to work it out for you.

Moderator DirtyDT Posted October 22, 2011 Moderator Share Posted October 22, 2011 Hi and welcome to the forum. Corrosion is the main reason the pump could be seized. I wouldn't take the top off unless I had to. drain everything, Plusgas the bores, not too much. Clean the carbs and tank and flush out the water changing the pump if it is definitely seized. try and turn the engine with the plugs out to see if things move around in the engine. new oil, water and fuel. A splash of fuel in each bore, plugs in and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
