please help! f4 wont start and i dont know where to.

I bought a 2000 f4, it came without a key or title aand I got it to build a stunt bike. After I got an ignition for it and battery it wouldn't start. Motor turns and starter is wide awake but it sounds like the motor isn't getting any fuel. The filter isn't clogged and I plan on cleaning the carbs but is there anything I should try out before removing the carbs please let me know. What other things should I do other than clean the carbs and what steps should I take? I couldn't find anything in the search. I don't hear the fuel pump when I turn it on, I don't know if I should. I also can't get anything out of it wit starter spray.

you'll get a lot more help on stuntride.

is the ignition an original F4i one? ebay has cheap ones that say they are for F4i's but they don't have the resistor that allows the bike to turn on.

Actually yea, it is a cheap eBay ignition. What can I do to fix that? Can I add it or just order an official Honda one?

the cheap one that i had couldn't be modded with the resistor, at least not easily. take the bottom of the cheap ignition apart. if you don't see a resistor then it won't work. look for a used F4i ignition on ebay or stuntride.

Do u have a pic or a description of the resistor? I don't know what I'm looking for.
