My F4 is addicted to starting fluid
Hey guys i just did a ton of mantience on my bike battery, oil ,fuel/oil filters, plugs pretty much everything i can think of but, heres my problem the bike starts up just fine and runs for a couple miles then starts spuddering, then eventually dies, i hit it with starter fluid and it fires up then it runs weird for a second but usually when i start riding it goes away i have to to this every morning. i had way too much oil on the K&N soo i cleaned out the whole air box, filter pulled the plugs and cleaned them again. still kept doing it so i opened and cleaned everything again, ive noticed its much better but its still fouling plugs! the bike has 46K on it, and besides this issue the bike runs like a champ i keep up on everything just cant figure this one out!

the plugs are new i dont know if there dirty or just messed up from have to use starting fluid everyday for the past 2 weeks, could dirty carbs be the problem? the fuel filter is only a couple months old and i check the pump when i turn the key it clicks. soo i dont know maybe i should just pay to have someone look at it.

after 2 weeks of just being a royal pain in my *** i finally figured it fuel pump was cutting in and out cleaned the contacts on it and it worked....for about 30 miles then would start at all.. after changing the pump on top of a mountain, with a pocket knife and pliers bike runs like a beast soo nice to not have to have the big can of starter fluid under my seat!
Thanks for all the help guys the manuals were very helpful!
