C50t won't start - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

stethomp · 05-26-2008, 08:07 AM

Hello everybody. I have a problem I put some new pipes on my C50T. I took my gas tank off to put a fuel manager on and when i put it back on it wouldn't start. Is it possible that the fuel pump has lost its prime?

Not enough information.
Check that all connections are tight.
What brand of FI unit did you install?

What happens when you attempt to start?
What idiot lights come on?

A cobra RI200 and the FI light comes

It's possible a vacuum line is pinched. After my first service mine wouldn't stay running when it was warming up without revving it. Turned out when they put the tank back on a vacuum line got pinched.

Did you plug the brown fuel pump connector back together? I say this becase it's easy to be focused on hooking the fuel line back to the tank and making sure there are no leaks and forgetting about that brown connector.

i finally figured it out it was one of the prongs it was backing out when you pushed it together. Those pipes sure make it run better

Good. Now that it's running...

Now, you have to buy a Stage 3 package from GMan and really make a rocket out of it!

Didn't realize he made a stage 3 kit for the C50T.
