Few things you need to know.
1. I just replaced the fuel pump. There’s a part of me wondering if I wired it backward. There’s a green and blue wire from running along the frame where I disconnected the old fuel pump. Just in case… which is positive?
2. Fuel Filter – I changed it. The new one is a Honda OEM. However, while changing it, the 30 year old hose broke. I replaced it but obviously with a straight hose from O’Reillys. As such, the fuel filter isn’t seated in the original location. One thing I’ve noticed (could be nothing) is that the fuel filter doesn’t have any fuel in it that I can see.
I’ll post a vid of it trying to start when I can. But I’m sure you can use the imagination. I’m using the electric start with a new battery.
I have started it and ridden a couple times since. However, 3 times its died on me. It just sort of acts like it’s not getting fuel then dies. One time, I went for a walk swearing and kicking weeds… in the 10 minutes it took to calm down it started up and I made it home.
Long/short – I feel it’s not getting consistent fuel and/or there’s a flaw in the line that’s causing air or water to get in.
Where would you begin to check?
Thanks!
