honda fireblade wont start HELP

[do1977]

i have a 900cc year 2000 injection blade it has been stood in the garage for a year now and wont start

i have tryed every thing and it is not getting fuel but the pump works

if you pore fuel into the throttol boddys it starts so it is not the petrol, fuel pump, plugs or coil

i have moved the auto choke with a screwdriver as i think it stuck and it almost fired

there is no faults on the dash

any idears

have you put new clean fuel into it as the old petrol will of gone off by now and if has got fuel filter that might need replacing as well

have you checked the pump is pumping fuel and not just ticking so it sounds like its working

yep all ok

[eastanglianbiker]

sounds like it is problem with auto choke or injectors then or even where the fuel goes into the injectors as the old fuel might of gummed them up where it has gone stale and turned to gel

Megawatt is the next man who might have some info...

Sounds like you done everything though fella ..

Am assuming you checked that it is actually pumping fuel? No airlocks or anything?

[megawatt]

Thanks Dan, sounds like autochoke or fuel pump to me. Can you disconnect pump and get it to pump fuel into a container? If autochoke, can you disconnect closing mechanism/spring and see how well it starts. I'll post this question on a coupla Blade Forums, if that's OK Dan???

[Guest]

Course it is. Gotta help fellow bikers innit

[do1977]

yep pumping fuel ok and no air locks

going to take injectors out tonight and soke on fresh fuel over night

i even spoke to honda they dont no what it could be but they want to do all the things i have done and charge me for it so going to puch on with it

Daft question, but, on some Honda's there's a tilt switch that cuts the engine should the bike go over, this couldn't somehow have tripped could it?

i think that stops it from sparking and it runs when you put fuel in the inlets

If the tlt switch stopped it from sparking then it wouldnt run if you put fuel in the inlets, if there is no spark then there is no ignition, some tilt switches cut the ecu some cut the fuel and some cut both, depends on model etc etc

Have you checked the fuel pressure regulator?

Voltage at the injectors?

Have you checked the kill switch? Some bikes turn over fine with it but arent pumping fuel in...
