Get the carburetors in sync.

Had the same problem with mine, been stood for 1 year. Put a new battery on it everything was fine passed the M.O.T. Waited until the end of the month to tax and it wouldn't start. Plenty of petrol in the tank, wouldn't crank over on the starter, but could hear the fuel pump kicking in. Looking for a fault and kept trying it, checked for loose wires and blown fuses to no avail. Then i noticed fuel light came on checking tank was empty. Wondering where the fuel had gone I found the engine had flooded into the crank. Stripped everything down found the problem was neutral switch was broke. Check this hope it helps you, mine in the 1999 fuel injected model. Cheers Kev :o)

Guessing FI =Fuel Injection. Indicates a fuel system problem. locate fuel filter, clean or replace. Check for sediment in fuel tank. Faulty Injector may need to be removed , cleaned or replaced.

check the fuse at the fuse box, 2nd check the spark plug might be wet @arcing clearnce, if it has kick starter you may try to ground the detached terminal cap of spark plug if it arc as you kick the starter, good, if not fuse busted no supply to the cdi(regulator)

hi i am doing 1 myself at the moment, you will need to remove, airbox, throttle boddies, radiator, cam cover, bit fidly to remove in the frame but it can be done, as the cam chain is fitted on the r/hand side of the engine there is no need for a complete engine stripdown, but you will need to take some carefull obsevations, once the rocker cover is removed you will see the 2x camshafts, you will need to remove the front r/hand engine cover this is the crankshaft pulsar cover, you will need a new gasket here, then you will observe the timing marks on the crankshaft t/= top dead centre, and the coresponding marks on both the inlet annd exhaust camshafts all these must be aligned make a drawing of this as it will have to go back together, in exact same position, with no room for errors,the exhaust cam has a pickup on it, make a special note of the position of this, you will need to undo all the camshaft cap bolts, this will alow removal of the cams to ease replacing your chain, if you wish you could also undo the cam sprocket bolts , these will require a loctite compound on refiting, you will then see the chain tensioner, this is on the rear right of the cylinder and it is held in with 2 bolts a new gasket comes with the cam tensioner if you buy the kit, a new gasket is also needed on the camshaft pulser this is located on the right hand side of the cylinder head, if you can acheive the disasembly without any problems, taking notes, making drawings, you will be able to reasemble it in reverse order, always use original parts, dont use gasket sealer , turn over your engine useing a spanner initialy to ensure corect valve timeing, a workshop manual is a must for your torque wrench settings it would also be usefull in guiding you throgh the afore mentioned job. warning do not atempt this job if you are in any doubt of your compentence to do it, paul

Perhaps the throttle cable is jammed. Try running some oil down the cable and operating it several time (without the engine running).

Is there some dirt in the carburetor mechanism.

hav carbs overhauled and timing chain and valves inspected

push start o.k.? Has it been sitting for awhile?
bad gas maybe ...try fresh gas then some Seafoam fuel system cleaner... if you can get it running. also it might have a weak battery...trickle charge it four five hours then try again......battery votage after trickle charge should be minimun 13v.

Question edited for clarity, full make and model. Question moved to sub-category. Check throttle return springs. Check the individual carbs are all moving together. https://www.google.com/search?q=honda+blackbird+carburetor+problems ..

coil could be bad or shorten to the frame

Vacuum line goes on the small valve fitting, fuel line on the large fitting. Use a clamp on the fuel line, vacuum usually doesn't need one.

Have you checked fuses?
