starting trouble=headache, please help?
Hi all, I'm new here and I just signed up hoping to get some help with this problem I have with my F2. Sorry to be a leech, but I love my bike and just want her to run.
All right, the idle was slowly decreasing as I was riding yesterday, so I brought it back to my garage and noticed it was leaking fuel out of the bottom, so I took the left fairings off and noticed that when I turned the tank on there was fuel squirting from an opening in the greenish fuel line (I don't know the right name for the part, sorry!) onto the engine. So I reconnected the fuel line and stopped the squirting/leaking, but now I can't get the bike to run. I figured the engine might be flooded so I followed the flooding procedure in the Clymer book, and I can get it to start when i give it a little bit of throttle when pushing the start button, but when I let go of the throttle the bike just shuts off and that's where my problem lies at the moment. I really have absolutely no idea what to do here and would appreciate any help that any of you might have. Thanks in advance!
