sorry if anyone has posted this thread before, I didn't find anything that applies to my case, so...
we bought the bike 2 weeks ago and the tank was very, very rusty and releasing bits of rust that I feared to be mixing with the petrol. the bike was working just fine so far.
3 days ago, me and my husband disassembled the bike to replace clutch discs and springs and also to deep clean the fuel tank.
so, today we put it all together, clutch is fine and no more rust in the tank as far as I can see and we put new petrol, but the won't start at all.
what happens is, we turn the key on, bike in neutral, side stand up, panel lights all good, no error code, fuel pump is working and it has enough battery.
then I press the start button, the bike turns on for 2 secs and dies, from second time onwards the bike doesn't fire up anymore and the Ignition light turns ON at the same time I'm pressing the start button.
The motor starter only spins with almost zero spark from the second time, if I pull the throttle together it cuts off spark and the motor starter keeps spinning fast.
we tried turn it on every 10 min but the same thing happens over and over.
we checked:
the battery-ok, I have not measured the voltage yet.
fuel pump- seems to be ok, we can hear it filling up
motor starter-ok
fuel-ok
so, is the engine flooded? or it isn't sending fuel at all? or something else?
sorry for the bad explanation, I'm not familiar with the terms.
I got a video
cheers.
