907ie Will Not Start
Posted: Fri Jun 24, 2022 8:56 pm
Hello all,
I joined the site a while ago but just got around to posting. I moved across the country (Canada) and now reside in Nova Scotia. Brought my bikes with me and I'm looking forward to riding my 907.
I took it into the local (1/2 hour away) bike shop which is a Honda dealer, not really any other options here except possibly for a 3hr drive to Halifax. I wanted to get the bike inspected so I could register it here. It was running fine last fall and this spring I fired her up and she was running rough. I asked the shop to check it out and long story short, now it will not start. They were going to charge me over $200 for their limited efforts and I convinced them that it was a bad idea considering I left them a running bike and was picking up a non-running bike.
They replaced the fuel and checked for spark and that's all they did. In the end, I was only charged for the fuel and the inspection ($40).
I am hoping someone here might be able to help me diagnose this problem.
When I turn the key on, the fuel pump comes on as normal. Kill switch is in the run position. I took the fuel filter out and I can blow air through it with no restrictions (it was replaced last year).
It has clean plugs and good spark on both, but they are dry when I take them out. The starter turns the bike over as normal, it just appears that I get no fuel to the cylinders. The 4-wire connector under the fuel tank is connected properly and the battery is fully charged. All fuses that I can find seem perfect.
Can anyone suggest what else I can check to sort this out? Thanks in advance!
