This is embarrassing, but I could use the help.
Bike was starting and running fine. I pulled my tank to repaint it. A few weeks later when I reinstalled the tank the bike won't start. It is cranking, fuel pump running. I put a piece of tape over the fuel line to be sure nothing fell in there while the tank was off.
I have some minor non-standard electrical, including an acewell speedo and Robmac's neutral light board. All of that has worked fine before.
I have air box and exhaust modifications, but those were all working fine before as well.
I have to think I knocked something electrical loose in removing/replacing the tank, but I've got no clue what it would be.
I know this isn't much to go on, but I'm at a loss. I'd appreciate any ideas about where to start. Thanks much.
Bike is a 1985 K100RT.
