Take some starter fluid and spray it into the AFM.If it starts, you have a fuel problem. If it dosent start,you have an electrical problem.Makes diagnosis much more easy and accrurate.You can do this yourself with a 1 on a scale of 1 to 10 in mechanical know how.(you did remember to pack starter fluid?)Starter fluid can be had at a gas station or drug store of 7- 11..You will have to remove the black air filter box first to do this.5 latches and a phillips head screw need loosening. Takes 3 minutes. With the results of this starter fluid test, we can speculate as to the cause of your no start with much better results-and even maybe get you going again. It's California or bust,again! BD is at the ready to get your order out within 7 days. |
