Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask theBuddha, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

It does not sputter nor cough as no fuel is getting to the carburetors

That's what I figured but was just making sure in my head. No fuel is making it 'cause the pump isn't working...

Hmm... There's power going to the pump. Does the pump make any noise when you turn the power on?

Hmm... If there's power going to it, it's not like a fuse or anything...

It may take fashioning some leads, but what happens if you hook the pump up directly to the battery? I assume it does nothing and makes no noise.

It'd suck - but I've had it happen to me before - but it could be a broken pump that they sent you. That'd suck...

It's too bad you don't have multiple bikes, you could try another fuel pump (even if it doesn't mount properly to anything to see if that makes a difference.

In my previous response, it was poorly formatted, but does it sputter and try to start if you manually put fuel in the carbs, lighter starting fluid?

No I tried starting fluid and it did not sputter or anything at all then either

Hmm... That just doesn't make any sense.

Literally, it's a bit nonsensical. So, you have no fuel from the pump - but even if you did it won't try to run.

The only thing I can think of at the moment is power, electricity... You say you get power to the pump, but is it enough?

Oh, shit, wait...

I did think of something the other night after you left. Does your bike have an inertia switch? Many do. It's something for safety - as in it shuts the bike down if you lay it down or get in an accident.

The hard jarring could have triggered the inertia switch. I forget the name of your bike, again, so I can't go look that up for you. I used to have a car that had a sensitive inertia switch - and I also drove it like a moron. So, I was underneath it a few times to reset that. It took a mechanic to figure it out for me, 'cause I had no fucking clue it was there. That it wouldn't start was baffling me.

So, if you have an inertia switch, check that!
