I havent been able to start my bike. The fuel pump works fine. the spark plugs spark. The z tube/pipe/hose is crack free. The fuel injectors weren’t spraying a few weeks ago, at that time the engine would turn over on start fluid but then die out.
I send my injectors to be cleaned and when they got back, the bike would start up on choke but it would die out after a while when i released the choke. Now the bike will only turn over for a little with starter fluid again. seems to live longest as i play with the throttle and keep the choke on but it needs that starter fluid.
I think i tried starting it too many times as it was a lot better when i had first reinstalled the injectors. Now when I try starting it, it cranks and sounds bubbly but wont turn over by itself.
Maybe the engine is a little dirty? or
maybe the gas is? Gas pumps out a really dark color, so i know the fuel is dirty. even though the gas tank was emptied and cleaned, and the gas is new, maybe the old gas from over the winter that was sitting in the fuel lines mixed in…
Hoping its not a electrical or sensor issue.
thoughts?
reading this over i wanna say the fuel is bad.
