Hello, new member here. I have a 2004 VRSCA that I was prepping for sale. It has sat for some years. New battery, oil and filter so far, drained gas out of tank and put in fresh
Current issue is it turns over but will not start. It will start if one sprays starting fluid in the airbox until that burns off within a few seconds. So the issue should be fuel related and not spark. I have not pulled codes yet but did find the link to that how to.
My first question is can someone describe the 3 lines from the tank, where they go, what they are for? Looking down on the tank facing the front of the bike, there is a small rubber line. Next to it are two braided lines with green push in connectors. I disconnected the first braided line and when the run button is on, fuel shoots out of the tank outlet. So that seems to be the line that supplies fuel to the engine. I disconnected the second braided line and when the run button is pushed, fuel shoots out of the hose, not the tank outlet (or inlet in this case). That seems to be some kind of return to the tank. If this is correct, if fuel is leaving the tank via braided line 1 and returning via braided line 2, how or where is it missing the engine to not start?
Thanks,
Damon
