Honda cbr 400rr run sout of fuel in fuel lien but have petrol in the tank.its not set on reserve. tank was half full when it happened. happpenrd a few times now. When bike stops in ride and check filt

Sounds like you have trash in your tank or line. I've seen this happen with atv's even though you believe all your fuel going in is clean, stuff can still get in unknowingly to you. I've seen a floating honey bee in a cars fuel tank cause all kinds of problems like that. Owner spent countless hours and dollars replacing sensors, solenoids, and come to find out the dead bee would stay afloat normally, but when the fuel pump pulled it into the screen, the fuel flow would either be minimal or totally stop it all together. Pull that fuel line off and turn your petcock valve on and off to see if fuel comes out good or partially. Your bike may be getting fuel fine during low speed and idle, but upon demand when more fuel is needed to accelerate, the flow is restricted somewhere and it starves the carbs. Hope this helps.

Car wouldnt start after being hooked up to a battery charger for 24 hours

It could be water frozen in your fuel system (fuel line, fuel filter, fuel pump or pickup or fuel rail). If you can get the car into a garage try letting it warm up, otherwise wait for a warmer day, to try starting it. If it is water in the fuel, you can add "dry gas" to your fuel which is an alcohol product designed to be an antifreeze and to absorb the water. However, if the water is already frozen in your system, this won't help without warming the car up first in some way. If you haven't changed your fuel filter in the last year, I would do that as well. Water can easily build up in a filter and freeze there in extremely cold weather. If this problem is water related, also fill the tank completely with a fresh quality gasoline, and add dry gas for the next several fill ups to help get any water in your fuel system out to keep it from happening again.

KTM 50 mini adventure was starting easily, had lots of power but while riding just cut out. Now when you kickstart it feels like it has no compression. i took the header off amd looked inside the exhaust...

possibly a blocked fuel filter, try laying the bike on its side then stand it upright see if that resolves the issue or is you can see a filter better to remove tubing off see if fuel runs freely

Hi I own a Transalp that I bought in UK . a couple of years ago I emmigrated to South Africa and took the bike there. However over the last year and a half I have been working in Asia and the bike has been...

hi, first thing you should do would be, to remove the fuel from the exhaust, you may have to remove it to do this, it must be that while the bike was standing the fuel has leaked from the tank, through a sticking float valve, into the engine through the inlet valve which must have been open at the time, and filled the cylinder with fuel, when your friend has attempted to start the bike the fuel has been blown into the exhaust, and lay here untill the bike fired and run, this is most common on two stroke engines, normaly a four stroke in this position would hydrallic,

the fuel will eventualy clear as the bike is running,

your best bet would be to remove the float bowl from the carburettor, and check the opperation of the fuel cut off valve, this may have become contaminated by old fuel which forms a varnish type substance when allowed to stand,
the cut off valve is located under the float which you will carefully remove, place a clean cloth or similar under the carb where you are working, if any parts fall onto the paper, you will quickly find them, i hope this advice is clear and meaning full, if you require any further help , feel free to contact me , paul

Bit of a problem go get the bike running.

Can you confirm if the bike, once running, runs well below 3000rpm?

I've experienced this model not liking pilot jet usage due to an accumulation of fine particles in the fuel which build up and block the pilot jets.

Above about 3000rpm, it runs on mains jets.

If this is the problem, you can use a high quality fuel filter but it must be high flowing as this model drinks fuel.

Looking forward to your post.
