Reply With QuoteJust to be clear: it cranks over well but doesn't fire up? Does it sound like its trying to fire?
hello, I recently bought an 04 xb12s and immediately had problems with it. i bought it off craigslist and as soon as i got home the bike stalled. it took like 3 tries before it started back up again. sometimes it just doesn't want to start unless i leave it alone a few hours. it always starts after leaving it for a few hours (3-4 hrs). Now, the previous owner had just replaced the fuel pump, and I read on another thread that someone was having a similar problems and it turned out to be the o-rings in the fuel pump, he said they leaked and the bike didn't start unless he left it alone for a while. Could it be that the previous owner did not change the o-rings? any help would be greatly appreciated since I cant ride my new bike fearing that it will leave me stranded. thanks :)
Just to be clear: it cranks over well but doesn't fire up? Does it sound like its trying to fire?
Yep, it cranks over, just doesnt start. One time i was trying to start it, and a couple of drops of fuel fell from behind the seat, on the left side of the bike.
Oh i forgot, i already replaced the coil and spark plugs as well...when its cranking over it doesnt do anything else, just cranking. Not even a hint of trying to start. But if i leave it alone, for a few hours it starts just fine.
That's your gas breather tube....you aren't overfilling when you gas up are you?...a couple of drops of fuel fell from behind the seat, on the left side of the bike.
No, actually i have never taken it to fill up. Still has the gas i purchased it with, about half a tank i would say
Any codes?
no codes at all.
Assuming the bike gas spark. Do you hear the furl pump prime, then shut of before you start it?
Bad Gas? fill up and sea foam it
