My friend's speed ran out of gas the other day and now we can't start it...Help!!!!!!!

 

Running anything fuel injected out of gas is a worse deal than a carb. I've learnt that the hard way running my Celica out of gas a few times back in the day. No wonder my grandpa always was on my rear about having enough gas. Whatcha supposed to do when you don't have a fuel gauge anymore but test the limits? lol.. Ok, so here is what I'd do....

#1 - you probably have fouled a plug messing with it, or drained your battery. Make sure it is putting out at least 12.8 volts or get it on a trickle charger for a while to get it up to spec. Check your plug and change if necessary.

#2 Starting procedure. From what I've read, here is what you should do. Turn on key, wait 15 seconds, tap starter switch, turn off key. Wait 10 seconds, turn on key, tap starter switch, turn off key. Wait 5 seconds, turn on key, start it up. From what I've read that is the way to do it, might give that a try.

Keep us updated.

 

If you ran out of fuel there is a good chance you fouled the plug by cranking it with very low fuel pressure. Check da plug out.

 

well guys, we figured it out....First let me say dont ever let your dale run out of gas and try and keep starting it with no gas. He took it in under warrenty and they found the crankshaft seal blown and flywheel broken(dont know how) but they said this could happen if it backfired real bad which it did when he was cranking on it.

 

Holy crap a Cannondale with a warranty?!?!

LOL
