I am trying to bring a 2000 R1100RT back to original glory. I rode it before I bought it (not as much as I wanted to (long story). Every thing seemed to be OK. But the start was not spectacular (dead battery and he had to jump, so might have caused that...). Bike had been sitting for 2-3 years - I knew I was going to clean it inside and out.
Got it home pulled the tank - emptied the varsoline and replaced the fuel filter. Before reassembly - I put the fuel pump and pickup in a gallon container and added 12v to the wire. Got a good flow of fuel (wished I would have put a fuel pressure meter on). Removed the charcoal canister (when I flushed the fuel fiter to see what I could see - I found a LOT of sooty black mess.
Cleaned the injectors.
Put everything back together - when I turn the key - I get 1-2 seconds of pump - and the hose squirted a good stream out of the hose. Attached the hoses to the bikes side (will be investing in quick releases!).
Got no crank :-(
Pulled the multi meter out and probed back of the tank and got 12v when key turns on then back down to zero.
Checked the power at the injectors - got zero volts (when first turned on nor when attempting to crank).
Checked fuses and switched the pump and horn relays (I hear the pump at first crank still).
Any suggestions? (I tried searching the forum a couple times - but could not get a hit with the keyworks I was using)
