Having some issues, this is good

  

boostedA4and1fastCBR -> Having some issues, this is good (5/13/2008 3:53:43 PM)

Yesterday I'm waiting for a bunch of the guys 2 show up, I'm waiting, and waiting, so I started the bike warmed it up, blah balh....waiting some more so I spray down the bike, with the hose. Buddies get to my house and I start up the bike and it sounds like a shitty lawn mower with one cylinder. I figured my plugs went becasue I've had problems in the past, just changed them today, nothing, same shit happens. So I checked all fuses, connections, blah....NO CLUE.....WTF!?  Bike sounds like its running one one cylinder and takes the choke and everything else to get it going

Any guidance and or help is greatly appreciated

electrics got wet - weak spark, or shorted out... put it out in the sun - see if it starts later in the day.

Dude, relax.... I love reading these postings and ussually every posting states the same response I would have to a problem, so normally I don't post...  But never the less, it sounds to me electrical. If it ran fine the moment before you took the hose to it, then obvious electrical... Like the guy stated before me, let that baby sit and when she dries out completly, I'm a guessing she will run like before.  Good luck, and be patient, its only may!

I've almost put 2k miles on my bike so far lol.......I love to ride......I let the bike sit infront of a fan for about ten hours, two fans actually.....Then let it sit in the sun in 75 degree weather all day, same thing.  I'm going to recharge the air filter and see what happens

drain the bowls of your carbs, you might have gotten to much water in the intake. Just a thought.

i dumped a little gas into the carbs and bike started right up, sounded decent....I believe I may not be gretting fuel.....Fuel Pump?

ajlong -> RE: Having some issues, this is good (5/14/2008 4:06:14 PM)

You might want to check your petcock.  Whenever I shut mine off, I have to switch between the three settings a few times in order to get it to start draining fuel.  Dunno why, it's clean, I think it just might be a kink in the design.

boostedA4and1fastCBR -> RE: Having some issues, this is good (5/14/2008 4:28:06 PM)

petcock seems to be feeding fuel also, I've tested it lol

ajlong -> RE: Having some issues, this is good (5/14/2008 4:36:11 PM)

Drain the bowls and check your pump, you should hear it clicking.

boostedA4and1fastCBR -> RE: Having some issues, this is good (5/14/2008 5:04:28 PM)

I appreciate your feedback so far.....

Fuel pump is def. pumping fuel, maybe my carbs need to be redone, do they just shit the bed that fast?  It ran great before this

ajlong -> RE: Having some issues, this is good (5/14/2008 6:47:21 PM)

You know your electrical is dry for sure?  All your fuses are ok.  Did you drain the bowls?  If not drain the bowls of the carbs first, then look into pulling the carbs apart.  Sounds like it could be a vacuum problem also.  Check the 4 hoses comming off the back of the carbs, they should attach to the airbox, they might have come off when you wash it?  If they're off, put them on or plug them off completely, that's all the mounts on the airbox do.  Dunno man, good luck, I'll keep tryin' though, post your results.

boostedA4and1fastCBR -> RE: Having some issues, this is good (5/14/2008 7:21:54 PM)

Now I'm leaning towards maybe a bad coil pack.....who knows, I'm giong to go test them all out
