After putting the 900 back together it will not start. It sounds like it is not getting gas. I was wondering if I hooked the fuel/vacumm hoses up incorrectly.?. The items in picture #1 are COMPLETELY out of the bike/not connected. They were not hooked up when I tore down the bike, so I figured it would be ok to leave them out. Are these hoses important or needed for the bike to run?

The small thin hose labeled by #2 is connected directly to thin tab underneath the tank next to the large one that is used for the overflow. I have the thin hose connected to the carburetors currently. From the picture at RonAyers it looks like it should be connected to the small tab on the petcock for air pressure of some sort instead of how I have it.?.

Also, where is the fuel pump located on the 97' 900....is there one?

Anybody know for sure where these hoses connects to please reply. Thanks! I will post up some pics of how I have it connected currently in a bit.

 

that looks a little confusing but i'll tell you what i know and see if that helps.

96 and on tanks are vaccuum assited....so no fuel pump. one of those lines you have has to go to the tank to create a vacuum that allows gas to flow, without vacuum the gas won't flow. so you probably have your vaccuum hose hooked up wrong or not on at all.

hope that helps, that sounds like the problem. now, i couldn't tell you which one goes where though. i'd have to look at it to see.

 

yea its gotta have vacum from somewhere. im not really sure on the specifics but i know if you pull the tank off and turn the petcock to on, gas wont flow out cause it has no vacum.

 

No fuel pump on the 97" 900RR. ****en stupid manuals.

Its eazy to hook up the tank and lines, I do it to mine all the time.

Let me know if you still need help. so i can explain it.

Or head me up on AIM.
