Hey guys,
I'm hoping someone will offer some advice with a problem I'm having. My 2K M900ie hasn't been able to start for almost a year. I gave up on it last July and am hoping to make some progress once again.
I rode the bike home one night last June and it never started again. The starter cranks (and cranks) and I can smell the fuel. I have verified there's spark and even replaced the plugs. Everything seems perfectly fine, but it just won't start.
The one thing I can say for sure is that I don't hear the fuel pump 'hum' when I turn on the ignition. Even though I can smell the fuel as it cranks, I have to think that the problem is probably with the pump. Any thoughts or suggestions about how to go about troubleshooting the pump? Is this a part that is known to fail? Does it even seem like this could be the issue?
I know it's difficult to offer advice on these kinds of problems on-line but I'll appreciate help of any kind. The bike only has about 3K on it and I've never had any other problems with it. Hoping to ride it again though...
Thanks for any help offered!
