I road my speed in to the back my truck drove to the track and every thing was fine.When I got there It would not start.It turnes over but the fuel pump wont run.I checked all the conectors and changed the plug.I also checked the plug for fire and had no fire eather.
Any body had this before or know what this may be from?

Yea,this scares me because I just had the moto remap done from r&s
and have the hmf slip on.It ran awsome after the remap last weekend
this weekend it dont work.

I think my dealer might give me some trouble now.

Same thing happened to me. No fuel was getting into the cylinder. I had air in the line I sprayed ether in the air box directly and turned it over, a loud poof and it started up. Warning:Ether is bad for cold starting. Once wont hurt though

Instead of using either you can also use WD-40. I've done this several times on two strokes. The oil in the spray will help on the dry start. Don't think I'd try this on a dale though, the sensors may not like it.

YOu say you checked the connections but did you check the fuse? Also the main power relay could be suspect. Good luck.

I'd check the fuses...

No sensors on the cannondale to be affected by WD40 - it doesn't utilize a MAF, MAP, or O2 like an automotive system, so no worries there....

The fuel pump is not even running though.Usually on a cold start
I turn on the key and put the switch in the run position and hit the start button with the clutch out .This ususlly pumps fuel into the engin.It dont do nothing.I can see fuel in the filter but it dont move.I hope it is something as simple as air in the line.
I also pulled out the spark plug put a new one in the cap and touched it to metal when I turned the motor over there was no spark[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]I guss I will have to let the dealer figure this one out.I just hope they dont try and blame the problem on the remap and say its my problem.

Its not air in the line if the fuel pump isnt responding. Its something electrical check your ecu connections, battery connection, fuses, and grounds.
