GLittle1966 Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 can any body out there help me? I brought a Virago 535 last year so know very little about this bike, I got it out to clean it the other day as I am wanting to get back on the road and to rallies, I fired her up and she was running fine, then the following morning I went to go out on her but she just wouldn't fire up, she is sparking fine, theres fuel in tank but no fuel is getting to the carbs, I took the fuel pump off to see if that was the problem, I wired the pump to the bat' but even that is ok & pumps the fuel but when I wired it back up the pump wasn't working again.any help would be grateful in solving this problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason King Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 there must be relays/fuses to check or have you done this already. did,nt see this in workshop . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Mc Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Fuses first (cardinal rule) - do you have a wiring diagram or do you need one (as I have one I can email - PM me if you want it). Need to check the fuel pump relay too. With the pump in position, need to confirm the power to it (and from it to earth) - do you have a multimeter?

If it was unused for a time it may have fired up with the fuel left in carbs but fresh fuel wasnt allowed in by the stuck floats. Otherwise the carb jets may be gunged up.
