hey, just wanted to start out saying thanks in advance for any info yall can give me. i bought my bike last year, had the battery jumped with the car running ( i didnt know that was bad at the time, u think the tow truck guy would) but ended up putting a new battery in it and ran fine until the next day it just cut out on me while i was going about 45. so took it home and couldnt find anything that looked wrong ( sparks, fuel pump seemed to be working) couldnt figure it out. so a week went by and it started and ran fine then did it again. so now it has been sitting in my garage with me replacing parts. but now it wont start at all unless i use starting fluid and it will only run on that. the sparks were looking bad so i replaced them. fuel pump didnt pump so got a new one, ignition mod. i am running out of money and patience. any help would be appreciated!! thanks

 

oh just thought to say that my battery never died on me and the ignition mod is off of ebay so i am not sure about it. this is my first bike and i havent been able to ride it for almost 7 months, i am ready to ride but cant figure this out. thanks a bunch for anything

 

how much gas in there?

 

good amount of new gas, i replaced some hoses today, checked fuses ( just to make sure) , checked sparks for spark, and put new gas in. still wont start. now, putting temp clear hoses to make sure gas is flowing, if it is, it is on to the carbs tomorrow .

 

regulator/rectifier needs replaced.. happens to the oem unit, whenever bike is jumped off a running car..

WHENEVER YOU JUMP YOUR BIKE, MAKE SURE THE CAR ENGINE ISN'T RUNNING!!

 

humm, but what if my battery still as a charge? my still did after i rode it, i rode it for a 20 mile ride the second time and even after it quit there was still a lot of charge on the battery... it still cranks ( strong) and i havent charged it.

 

wait a sec i jump'd my bike with a running car .. i heard a pop sound come out of the exhaust?? did i damage something ??

 

could be the fuse..im go check that later on today

 

i checked the fuse box by the throttle and didnt see any blown, replaced one that looked old just in case. i dont know where or if there are anymore. any information we help. thanks, yall have helped a lot with things that could be wrong.

 

wow new news, i got it to start...for a second. then again for a little longer, very low rpms and when i gave it gas it died... fuel is pumping so i am thinking and hoping electrical. it hovered around 500 rpms when it idled then died. then i turned up the idle and no go. then turned it back down and gave it some gas, started and hovered around 500. tried to give some gas and it cut out. any ideas?
