i have cleaned the carbs change the waranty part on the bike and but a new ignition coil on it. it wont start unless i put gas on the air filter then it will start up then shut off. if i crank on it nothing happens. what do i need to do or not to do. please help me

 

Sounds like you need to recheck carb jets, plus pull fuel line from carb,crank over and see if has at least a small fuel flow. DONT recommend putting gas on air filter! Very dangerous! Can use contact or electrical cleaner if priming up fuel pump through air filter or checking to see if fires up,less dangerous than gas or ether! What warranty part? why the coil? Little more info?

humm heres my story
i didnt ride the bike for a few months
bike wont start so i have the carbs cleaned
the mechanic said it need to have the efi or somthing done under warenty work. i spend $250 for the carbs
so i have the warranty work done, then i need a new battery so i buy one
then the igniton coil is no good because of all the carnking so i get a new one.

so now i have all that and it still wont start. i dont know what to do im stuped

 

If he's talking about ECM module (4011110) then yes, very good possibility causing your problems! Ecm controls charging and fan circuit,PLUS can cause no start condition when shorted out! Should have silver color updated replacement module now. Battery replacement I can understand because off old ecm not charging and sucking the life out of the battery,But coil replaced? Still if you say will fire up with help through air filter,then has fire to plug! If you paid to have this done,TAKE it back to dealer! Still sounds like carb or fuel related problem!

any ideas on whats worng with it or what i can do to fix it. im stumped and stresset about it

 

have to agree with OPT! I can't believe the dealer didn't get it running for you to begin with! Isn't that what you are paying them to do?! You shouldn't stress yourself out, just take it back to the dealer and demand that they actually do their job!

 

listen to the old polairs tech he's helped me out before. he's 1oo % right if its fireing up when you feed it fuel you dont have an ingnition problem you have a fuel problem make the dude that rebuilt your carb , make it right..If he won't put his name on the fourm for all tp see..

 

a buddy of mine had the same problem with his sportsman his problem was that his fuel petcock was plugged dont know if that can help you but thats all i know about it
