Any ideas???

the fuel pump only sends fuel once the motor is turning over. its not like a car when you first turn the key and the fuel pump primes the engine. are you sure you heard something? how would you describe the noise? and i agree with kilegoretrout.... i dont understand what waiting would do if it all of the sudden decides it doesnt wanna turn over......

Well it sounded maybe like fule going to the carbs or float bows. All I know is I waited one day before I started taking it apart to find an anwser, and I tried to start it, and it started right up running just fine. Well my carbs seen to be a little dirty still but I need bigger jets in them anyway so it looks like that's what I'll be doing next. Before my f4I gauge swap, and my leftside fairings with paint lol.
soo much work to do.
