Is it turning over at all? or is there a clicking sound when you press the button?
Re: Waiting for the AA man bike still wont start
Its turning over it just wont fire and after keeping urfinger on the starter the engine management light comes on.
Re: Waiting for the AA man bike still wont start
Sounds like maybe the fuel pump or fuel management isn't giving any juice to ignite

Aa man been the fuel has crystallized as its been stood for 4 weeks but the fuel been in s7nce end of novemebr so, I dont know what to do really. The aa man said its easy to fix but he doesnt have the time :(
Re: Waiting for the AA man bike still wont start
Not a hard job but you are going to need to flush the entire system. Where in Wiltshire are you if you dont mind me asking. If in Salisbury I might be able to help you.

Am in trowbridge thanks for your advice
Re: Waiting for the AA man bike still wont start
Do you have any mechanical knowledge
Re: Waiting for the AA man bike still wont start
No, cars a little bit but bikes only minimal. I know how to take out the battery and I fixed the headlight buly taking it apart and fitting a new screw for it but its easy that bit.
Re: Waiting for the AA man bike still wont start
I used to take car engines apart but that was in 2005 havent touched mechanics since.
Re: Waiting for the AA man bike still wont start
I think you said it had carbs. If so I dont mind coming to help if you cant get it here. Can do it Sunday if you like. All I ask is you help out with my fuel and possibly whatever you think the job is worth. Sorry to ask but times are hard for us at the moment.
Re: Waiting for the AA man bike still wont start
You need to empty the tank anyway, you could try emptying it and putting some new fuel in then see what happens when you try to start it. It won't make it any worst.
Re: Waiting for the AA man bike still wont start
Yu[ if it's carbs then try putting fresh fuel in, sticking the fuel tap on prime and crank it over for as much as the battery will take - you might get a spark and ignition and then job done
Re: Waiting for the AA man bike still wont start
Thats fine, the bike is an XVS 250. The bike isnt the best of shape due to the previous owner. Do you need anything tool wise? The aa guy came and had a look battery is fine, sparkies are ok but I will meed to change them this year and he said he is sure its the fuel and when I said its been in since November and havent been anywhere really so its got a full tanlk.
