new member, new issue with f4i
ok im in the process of puttin my f4i back together after tearin everything apart for paint and tank repair. everything worked fine before the tear down, i took the pump out of the tank and put it in a sealed bag. last nite i put everything together, turn the key and turned the switch on for the pump and i heard nothing. so naturally i started gettin worried. i checked the wiring again and tried again...nothing. so i thought maybe my battery is too low for it to turn it on, so i blipped the starter real quick and the starter cranked right away. so then i took a lenght of wire and connected it directly to the pump's harness from the battery and the pump started whining. now im confused. connected straight from the battery the pump kicked on. what could i be missing here? what should i check next? there is only the one connector for the pump correct?[align=left] [/align]

only things that are on there since this pick is tank, airbox, and headlights becuase someone had mentioned that the headlights needed to be hooked up for the pump to turn on.

if it was me, and i've kinda been in your situation, i wouldn't worry about it too much until you had everything put back together. but that's just me. because yeah, who knows, there might be something that needs to be hooked up in order for it to start.
