Remove the air filter and carefully hit it with a spray of starter fluid while cranking and see if it will run a few seconds. Follow instructions of can carefully.
its to see if there is an intake leak, i've had similar problems as you some being as simple as a bad new set of plugs to poorly connected electrical connectors...recently had found my crank position sensor to be dirty...keep looking you'll find it...tech 101, replace suspected parts with KNOWN good parts
good luck, its a bitch especially if u want to stay away from the stealer
Post 62 is is just to see if it's fuel related. Of course if it's flooding that will not help. However if it's flooding you ought to smell a lot of raw gas. It has to be at least running to do what Lefat is talking about and then you spray a little propane around manifold and see if it idles up to look for intake leaks.
alright so i got up early went back to basics and checked inline fuel filter and pulled the a/c off to make sure im squirting when throttle applied, both checked out fine, then i pulled the cone cover and guess what i see... i have a crane hi 4 module in there, not sure how to see if thats the problem but i turned ign on to see if the little red light on the module would turn on and it didnt, not sure if bike has to be running for light to come on, gonna look through the forum to see related issues with that ign module ive heard they crap out and thats why there out of buisness but i read that online and they cant put anything on the internet that isnt true lol, let me know what you think, thanks again guys.
Yeah, you found the problem. For a while on the board here, it seemed like we had 1 a week of "my bike won't start...", "my bike dies after it warms up..." and they always had a Crane hi 4 in there. Then Crane went out of business. Replace that thing and you should be OK. I like the OEM system with a screaming eagle module, but the Ultima/Rev Tech, I think, are pretty popular too.
