| 2000 f4 out of storage, will not start The bike has not ran for over a year. During this time I have cleaned the carbs so they should be fresh. I got new fuel in it and if I spray starter fluid into the carbs it starts for a bit. Also has new plugs installed if it does not start tomorrow then I will pull them and see if they are loking good I would like some ideas on diagnosis because cranking it until the battery is low is clearly not healthy. I know that it is getting air, fuel and spark. The next thing I will do tomorrow is test the fuel pump to make sure the filter is not blocking anything. Any other ideas or recommendations? Thanks | |

| Re: 2000 f4 out of storage, will not start if you say it starts when you spray starter fluid in it, then most likely it's a fuel related issue. possibly fuel pump or a carb related issue. |

| Re: 2000 f4 out of storage, will not start Looks like the carbs are leaking/the cylinders are not getting the right amount of fuel... When I cleaned the carbs I reused the gaskets and they are leaking. The arizona weather may have some part in the dry gaskets as well. Guess I need to order the carb kit from honda and try again. |

 | Re: 2000 f4 out of storage, will not start Anything unplugged from the wiring harness? I had that problem and it ended up being a sensor of sumsort unplugged. Went through all the trouble cleaning the Sh!t out of the carbs, spraying starter fluid, etc. |

In my case it was not so i tested the fuel pump relay located in the undertail mounted on the subframe. Basically all you do is short two terminals of the relay and after I did this my fuel pump magically worked...knda wierd but that is how these bikes are sometimes This is from the service manual which is downloadable | |
