QUICK help!!! am i stupid?!

[Bandit12k]

Ok, so i did a carb cleaning and new plugs on my buddies 97 suzuki RF900r.

This is carbed, and has a stupid fuel pump. I hate these setups. Well, the carbs are dry, and i can't get the fuel pump to turn on. Petcock is on.

ANY TRICKS?!?!?!

I even tried putting direct power from battery to the pump with some alligator clips and lengths of wire. There's 4 wires on it though, all combo's didnt work. Ugh.

Taking all suggestions.

dead pump?

[neuthunder]

did you try running the line from the tank to carbs directly?

[Bandit12k]

bike ran a day ago, but roughly. that's why i cleaned the carbs for him.



Filling the carbs with the tank is the only thing i haven't done yet.
I'm figuring somethings not right. So before i go and try to bypass the problem, i'm thinking of something wrong w/ this.



Shouldn't the pump turn on though for a few seconds when you turn the key? Or does it not work like the Fuel injected bikes?

FIXED!!!!

i guess.


went back out, hit the starter, and it fired right up. WEIRD!

Pump was empty and cavitating. Leaving it for a while let fuel prime it naturally.

Why don't you shut it for me?

I spent an hour one time trying to start a fucked up EX250. Walked away for 5 mins, came back and it fired up like it was brand new.

I blame Obama.
