Sounds like it needs descaling - not the normal descaling but inside the pump head!

SOURCE: Problems in wet weather and cleaning my triumph won't start.

Water is getting into your ignition coils.
Trace the spark plug lead up to the coil.
Get some ignition sealer spray and spray loads of it on the leads and coil.
When a bike is new, it is sealed. After washing with detergents it gets washed away. Spray the leads and coil once a week to keep them totally dry.
An immediate way to get round when wet is to spray wd40 on the leads and coil, it should start straight away.
But, don`t spray ignition sealer on until it is totally dry.
Hope this helps

sometimes the window weather strip isn't air tight and it could get in your door panel.

2000 Honda Accord went dead, I replaced the 100 amp battery and the 50 amp ignition fuse, still nothing it won't even push start?

Question edited for the dozens of typos and translated into written English.
Question moved from MISC to model category.

Reset the security system. You disconnected the battery with the 100 amp fuse.

Really you need an auto electrician with a pro grade scan tool computer. There may be more to this than meets the eye.

On a 2009 Triumph America won't start with good battery. Disconnected single wire from Starter when start button pressed get battery voltage to wire. When connected just click. Do I replace the wh

Hey MArk,
Reinstall your starter...when trying to start your bike, voltage means almost nothing! - The "quality" of a battery is determined by the CCA (Cold Cranking Amps).. amperage is what makes your bike start...and you need at least 13.5 volts to run the lights, etc..
O'Reilly's, AutoZone, etc.. can test your battery..
..When you get a new battery...you need to check the charging system.. crank it up..let it get warm..then put a multimeter to it..Red to + terminal and black to - terminal ...you should get 13.5+ volts DC to the battery at 3500 rpm..

The side stand kill switch may be out of position, Starter button wire has come disconnected somewhere along the way? Is there power from the button to the solenoid when the button is pressed. If so, get a new solenoid. If not, trace the wire back to the button and find where it has come disconnected.

Check below the engine around the motor mounts beneath the engine for broken wire or disconnected wire. I once had this problem with a 69 Bonne and it was a disconnected wire underneath. Could be disconnected around the ignition area as well....It's a wiring problem for sure.

My 2002 triumph Thunderbird stalled and wont start

Check fuel filter and air filter, then spark plugs, not necessarily in that order.
