Alright guys, this is on a 2000 Busa with the external fuel pump. I got a starter put on a few days ago, and well, i helped the guy tear it apart and well we took the tank off and all the plastics, and well i had to leave and a few hours go buy and he calls me says its done. (really what im getting at is that i wasnt there when it went back together) Well, there is a problem. I got the bike, road it to the house, then up to hang out with my nephew at the park. Well, I went to crank the bike up, and the battery seemed dead, so i was like... wtf? anyhow, called my buddy and he brought some jumper cable to try to crank it, all it did was spin and spin.... well i thought, hell lets put some gas in it, got a gas can put bout a gallon in and it cranked up.
I drove it to take meet up with my friend for dinner the next day, it road great. i got to the restaurant we ate, took bout an hour, went outside, the bike just turned and turned. there was a gas station right across the street so i rolled it over there put gas in it (filled it up) and it spun and spun, but didnt crank. I called the guy who put the starter in he came out and we took the tank off at the gas station and a fuel like from the tank to the pump popped off we hooked it up and it cranked, but slowly and finally cranked up, but we put it on the trailer hauled it to his shop and hooked it up to the battery charger and it cranked up so i figured it was that line that was loose. Well fast forward to today. I charged the battery on my trickle charger last night, but it in and the bike cranked right up. I drove it around, went to pick my friend up and we went to dinner. After bout an hour, I came outside the bike spun and spun, but didnt crank. I lifted the tank up, and put it back down, it cranked right up. I guess what I am asking is, which lines go to which part on the fuel pump. Do you think he may have hooked them up backwards? the bike runs right, just has some problems starting. I also noticed the little valve on the tank where the lines come off, i am assuming that it is a fuel cut off or something, what way does that need to be turned? also, I have 3 nipples coming off the bottom of the gas tank. i am assuming one is a feed line, the other is a return line and another is.... idk wtf the other is, but is has always been blocked off. guys help me!!! i have taken this girl out twice and the bike not start (and once i showed up to her house and the started went out) help me not look like a douche anymore haha!!! I can post up pics of how it is and maybe someone can look at the pics and say "WHOA!!! I see what the problem is"
