I RECENTLY PURCHASED MY 2003 SUZUKI VOLISA INTRUDER AND IT DOES NOT START. I HAVE CHANGED THE PLUGS, CLEANED OUT THE TANK AND ADDED NEW FUEL, CLEANED OUT THE VALVE AT THE TANK TO THE ENGINE AND IT STILL DOES NOT STAY ON. iT STARTS IF I ADD STARTING FUEL IN THE CARB BUT DOES NOT STAY ON. WOULD IT BE THE FUEL PUMP OR I HAVE A BAD CARB?

Hi and welcome to FixYa,
A couple of ideas you may want to consider when starting a bike that has not run for some time:
Other than the above a few more but these would initially be of help for the moment.
Would appreciate an update, curious myself.
Good luck and Thank you for using FixYa. Happy New Year.

did this just start all of a sudden or after being stored for a while? if it was stored then try new fuel, check and change fuel filter, and get some fuel system cleaner that goes in the gas tank, run til hot then let stand overnight. and try, old gas can gum up carbs starving the enging of fuel.

Sounds like water in the gas.
ALWAYS have a fire extinguisher on hand when working on carburetors.
For each carb > Drain the carburetor. There should be a screw on the lower side or bottom of the carb float bowl. Remove the screw then replace it after the fuel drains. Turn the gas back on and wait a minute for the carb to fill with gas. If the bike doesn't start and run properly then shut off the gas and remove the carburetor from the engine.
Remove the float bowl and clean the entire carb with a spray carb cleaner from the auto parts store. Wear protective goggles to avoid getting spray in your eyes. Spray into all the little airways and fittings in the carb. Put the carb back together, clean the air filter and install the carb. Let the float bowl fill then start the engine. This process should get you back on the road.
Please rate this solution. Thanks!

Take the carburetors apart and either rebuild them or clean them thoroughly.

sounds like the float is not working properly , could also be the jet. would be a good idea to buy a carb kit, not very expensive and save a lot of grief.
