Try running sea foam through ur system take the gas hose off the tank make a funnel system to that hose fill it with straight sea foam crank the bike untill it sucks at least 1 cup full let it sit for 24 hrs then try to start the bike with gas by adding through the funnel still no luck check spark plug for spark if no spark check sensors a wire could have croded and not making good connection also check your fuse box changing fuel pump could have blowen a fuse

Testimonial: "I haven't done the foam crank but I have done the spark plug and it does still get a spark and I ave also took off the cover around the fuel pump Bc it had trash in it at the bottom where the gas was so I cleaned that out poured new gas back in and it cranked back up I rode it back down the road and it spit and sputtered and went dead on me and I had to be pulled home and I have done that since I drained the gas tank and put in fresh gas. But I have never heard of or tried the sea foam through my system where would I find that stuff at??? & Thanks so much!!!"

    Sea foam is at any auto part store and walmart there is a good video on you tube how to do it I'm almost certain that the jets are cloged once you get it cleared out just rember to un hook your gas line run the bike dry and empty ur tank if ur going to store over 1 mounth

My mountaineer won't start. It sat for a little over a year because of transmission issues. When I finally got a trans for it, it wouldn't start. I replaced all spark plugs and replaced the...

If the engine is turning, but slow, she may need the battery terminals cleaned, if it has sat for over a year, yes, it may need a new battery. If the engine is turning over and she is not cranking up. Standard rules apply... does she have fuel? does she have spark, does she have compression? First thing is easy, get a can of starting fluid and give her a spray in the air filter area during cranking, if she pops off you have spark, which means no fuel. If it does not try to hit, that means no spark and more trouble shooting will need to be done. If it starts on starting fluid, you may have a bad fuel pump. AS gas turns to gunk as it dries up. And that may have gummed up the pump and filter. Hope this helps FixYa up.

Scooter sat for a year; wouldn't start; replaced battery. filled with gas. cleaned spark plug. won't start. Help

after a year sitting idle chances are that the gas inside the carb has degraded and the carb will need cleaning also when you filled the tank did you remove any old fuel? if not the its contaminated with the old gas
give it a full service new feul clean carb clean air filter then it should start

hope this helps
