its got a low pressure pump... i just replaced one on an f4

 

kinda drunk...my bad......

 

the F4 when it runs.. is it a good stunter bike?

 

re wire the ignition correctly then take the ignition completely apart till you get all the way down to the tumbler it will only work in one position but it will spin 360 degrees so try every position but that will turn the power one and you should be able to start it................. if i remember correctly there is a little pink resistor in the ignition that is i believe for the fuel pump or the computer or something and if you are trying to hot wire it you are bypassing that resistor there for not getting the correct amount of power to a key part of the bike.................. but i could be wrong its been quite sometime since i owned an f4

 

UPDATE!---I tried plugging in my buddy's 929 ignition set (it was the same hookup to the harness) the key turns on the bike but it STILL WONT START!!! I tried spraying starting fluid and it will act like it will start and nothing. What else would it be? Its getting fuel.

 

try replacing the fuel filter. it should be done anyways out of regular maintenence, but it could be the problem too...

 

how do you know its getting fuel?

 

Well, I guess I dont. I'll try unplugginng the fuel line behind the filter (checking the filter) and see if fuel is going to the carbs/fuel pump (I'm not sure where it goes after the tank). It would'nt be the plugs? The bike has sat for about a month without being started. Could it be something differant about a 929 ignition (even though it hooked up the same way)? The battery died from trying to start it so many times but its been on a charger. It still sounds like it wants to start; its just not getting that special something to make it fire. WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!!!!!!

 

Again, thanks everyone for the help. The bike is NOT STOLEN! I just wanna ride!!!!!

 

try the plugs.

 

try priming the fuel pump also

 

How do I prime the pump? This stupid pump is probably my problem. I'll try that stuff and see if it works.

 

lift the tank unhook the fuel pump plug and take wires form the battery to the wires in the plugin.

 

You're a genius! It fires right up! Thank you all so much for the help!! Time to ride!

 

cool, glad you got it running, be caeful, you can fry the fuel pump running it straight to the battery, theyre not designed to run constantly. i fried three CBR fuel pumps over the years doing this.

if it does fry, the pump will not allow any fuel to pass, if you are in a jam you can completely remove the fuel pump and run it gravity fed, just make sure you have a full tank of gas or it doesnt feed well, it'll run fine.

and carbed CBRs have different key/igntion setups than Injected ones. the diode is only in FI models, carbed CBRs just connect all the wires together inside the ignition

 

Thanks. How do I get INSIDE the ignition to connect the wires? Do you mean the 4 different ones coming from the bottom of the igmition?

 

you need to make shure that you don't have a ground problem and that pump needs to go through a relay. It is not ment to run all the time. I had the same problem with a vstar. It kept on poping regulators and frying the relay for the fuel pump.

 

Its stolen...i learned a long time ago that when someone denies something hard like this guy, its not stolen! * 2 post later * its not stolen! * 1 post later * its not stolen! etc., 9 times outta 10 the ***** stolen! hahaha

What you SHOULD do is return it to the owner

 

You get that **** from an apartment complex?

 

an f4i ignition will work on an f4... just sayin
