Allright - I did the bottle with the little hole, dripped it in bit by bit as I was cranking and after a couple of seconds it started and kept running no problem!
So maybe just needed to be primed (really well) after sitting for 4 months?
I'm going to try to get to the lake early next week...
I just pulled off both fuel hoses. They both had fuel come out of them. Does that mean the fuel is getting to the carbs okay or should I still check the fuel pump filters?
I will try the drip thing now. If that doesn't start it I'll go back to the plugs again...
Okay, I took off the air box / flame arrestor thing. I dumped a bit of premix directly into each carb, closed it back up and tried starting. I got nothing.
Then I took the air box off again and held the green button while carefully peeking down the carbs (with safety glasses on) and didn't...
My '07 SXR will not start. I haven't ridden it in 4 months and it was a bit hard to start my past couple of outings when first arriving at the lake.
The battery is fully charged. Cranks strong. Lanyard is on.
Both spark plugs appear to have a strong spark.
I put new gas/oil in the tank...
