Anonymous Posted on Jun 29, 2011

I have a 2004 gsxr1000 that will not start. I stored it through the winter.It started and ran good but had loss of power over 8000rpms but otherwise started and ran. I sat it for 2 days and now it wont start. It is turning over and getting fuel but I'm thinking its not getting enough spark. I have changed plug, air filter and cleaned the fuel filter. Whats wrong?

The problem is that over the winter water tends to condense inside the fuel tank. If you did not replace all of the remaining fuel from the tank it might be contaminated with water.
Try to leave your bike with a full tank next time you live it unused for a long time.

    I thought that when i had the power loss problem so i took the tank off and completely drained it, filled it up, rode it, drained it and took the fuelpump out and cleaned the internal filter. put back together and still had the power loss problem but it ran. Thank you for the input.

Car had no power. Autozone ran codes bad MAP - replaced. Car won't crank - replaced start relay on switch nothing. Checked clutch switch - checked good. Turned key on and applied 12v to solenoid. Car...

the map code may be a symptom, not the problem. I would have a shop that specializes in VW check it out. Auto Zone isnt much help unless you are buying oil or car wash soap.

Stored my 1989 corvette for the winter. Just tried to start it, and the battery is dead. I jump started the car and it ran for about 7-8 minutes and then shut off. Had to re-jump and again, car won't

At first blush, sounds like corrosion on the battery cables either at the battery or at the other end at the alternator or starter. There are several sprays at the auto parts store that will clear the corrosion but the best way is to remove the cables and clean both the cable ends and the posts. Once you're able to rule out the cables/connections having the charging system checked would be next point of order but its more likely to be the cables. A car that won't run on it's own isn't getting enough power from the alternator so I'd check the negative cable first.
