Ok over the winter I have taken on painting and cleaning my bike as a project to keep me saine. Well its all finished and I put everything back together and the damn thing will not start. I belive its the fuel pump and I know this is a common problem. but I have some questions .

1. I pulled the fuel line going into the carb and when I turn the key I dont get any fuel coming out. Only when I turn the key off do I get a small pulse of fuel coming out .

2. where is this fuel relay I keep hearing about I just want to change it !!!

3. why does this blow so much and why do I keep wiping tears from my eyes !!!!! Lol


any help will be very welcomed

 

ok I just pulled the fuel pump and hooked it up direct to the battery and it runs so im assuming its the relay !!!!

 

Ok so here is where I'm at in this saga !!! I pulled the fuel pump and hooked it up directly to the battery and it pulses just fine . I pulled the fuel cut off relay and I'm assuming this is what goes bad . My new question is when I hook up the fuel pump without any hoses to the system and turn on the key it only pulses once and this occurs only when I turn the key off . Any thoughts before I spend the 70 dollars on a new relay

 

Yeah run the fuel gravity feed from the tank to get it running and rule out carb issues. I run mine gravity feed all the time now.

 

How are you running the lines that you can gravity feed it ? Also don't you experience fuel starvation under heavy load ???

 

May sound like a dumb question but you turned the fuel valve back on after putting it back together right?

 

Hahaha I did turn it on !!!! I picked up the new relay and the puppy fired right up !!! All is right in the world now
