Will not start from cold

Hi,

3 months ago I had am op, and when I came to start up the bike it would not do a thing. I've charged up the battery and re installed it, but it will not fire what is wrong.

    does the bike turn over? Do you have a kick starter for it as well? Has it been sitting for a while? Can you push start it? Have you checked for ignition spark?

I suspect spark is good, The 3 things you need to get any motor running is fuel, spark and compression. If you have all 3 in good condition, it should run fine. But the 1st obvious check is the fuel. Drain tank or at least smell fuel and see if it smells like varnish. If it does, drain tank and carb and refill with fresh fuel and this time put fuel stable in it. I have had fuel for as long as 3 years with stabil in it and it works fine. So give that a try first and then we will go from there. Have a good one and happy holidays....Sincerely Jay

Why won't my 2002 R1 start

Measure the battery voltage with the engine running. It should show a charge, 13+ volts on the battery. If not fault find the charging system.

While riding at night my bike died and could not be started without battery jump. Where do ifind the magneto and regulator to test? and wht output should i be expecting?

its an alternator not magneto, there should be 3 wires white or yellow, going to the reg\rectifier, multi meter across any pair(unplugged) should show 50-80 volts at 2000rpm non of these should short to earth, multi meter across battery should show up to 14v at 2-3000rpm.with everything plugged back in
if alternator checks out, and no voltage more than 12 at battery , replace regulator,,

all assuming the battery wasn't fried when it ran out of acid

my guess is new stator\alternator required

Battery

Might be the camera's battery terminals, not the battery itself. Take a qtip and some isopropyl aclohol and clean the terminals in the battery well of camera.

It has been sitting or 3 months and won't start and it is a kick start Suzuki 4 wheeler and it was running great 3 months ago but this cold whether I think is what the problem is .

Hi erik
My first point of call would be to clean the spark plug, it could have gotten corroded while the bike has been standing. Hope this helps.

Hi, I?ve got an 88 K75S which runs well but when cold has problems starting. My local mechanic has had a look and can?t find the problem. The battery was changed 3 months ago, new plugs have recently been...

your BMW75 has a cold start sensor fitted to its fule system the choke leaver dose nothing but raze the reves a little its not a choke,,,thats withing the fule system if the sensor is not working right it wont tell the fule pump to enrich the fule mix and it will be hard to start from cold,,also if you start the bike up you must run it till its hot or the choke will stay on and flood up the engine the next time you try to start up
the choke sensor is in the water jaket, try changing this part first

I have a 2001 Suzuki SV650. When I purchased it (about a month ago), a new battery was installed. The bike was running fine, but 4 days ago, the battery died. So I hooked it up to a trickle charger, and...

sounds like a charging system. same thing happens with cars when the alternator goes kaput. so i would say check your charging system weather it be an alternator or generator.

HTC S710 - Battery issue

Hi guys

if u buy new battery for around 35$... its creepy thing that it again sucks within
6 month
so follow these procedure that i really got good response

1)Buy the new battery from any other dealers (u can use Nokia (std) or LG, Micromax, Onida... etc)
having same specifications as 1050mAh Lion-POLYMER 3.7v and having equivalent Size that fit into the case.

2)Now open ur dead battery, remove the sticker slowly, u wil get the polythene bag carrying the charge sheets
.
3)Please note that dont not disturb this polythene bag... (cutting, drilling or pinning), else it starts burning.

4)U will see a circuit above the polyhthene bag having two poles (+ve n -ve) just cut the poles of bag from the circuit and keep the bag aside

5)Now do the same procedure with new batt and remove the polythene bag.. and soilder with
the dead battery circuit. (check the +ve n -ve by multimeter)

5)Re-assemble with insulation tape and recondition it perfectly.
now check poles bofore starting.

Note : i got good result from this and i m getting 18-19hrs standby and 11-15hrs usage. Do it on ur own risk...and i m not responsable for ny harm)

Dead battery after a long ride

Yes, it could be the regulator. Running a battery flat MAY kill it, so try to recharge it and then load test it. Put a fully charged battery in the bike. Hook up a voltmeter and start the bike. Rev engine to about 3-4000 rpm. If your regulator is working you should be getting about 14v. If the reading does not change from what it was before you started the bike, your charging system is not working. Do test the parts before you simply replace them.

Will not start as cold

if it is cranking over and just not firing i would drain your float bowl which you will see a tube coming out the bottom of your carb. it will have a screw right above it loosen that and gas should drain out.i would also think about draining your gas in your tank and putting fresh in.possible new spark plug
