Jimslade Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 Hi. I have a '98 VFR which has been sitting for a few years (job, kids, overseas assignment....). Have done careful bootstrap (new battery, drained all fuel out, oil/filter change, little bit of oil in cylinders, manual turnover... all good so far). Put in a gallon of fresh gas. Starter is turning it over easily but it's not firing. I'm assuming no fuel, but I'm guessing. Seems like connectors to the fuel pump are getting voltage when I turn it on (2 sec of 12v, then drops off which I've read is the right behavior? IDK). I'm not hearing any sound however when I switch it on, which from memory... I remember I'd get a short whine of the pump priming the gas. Does the pump just gum up and stop working if it has sat for years? Is the next step to replace the pump and filter? Anything else I can do before throwing money at it? Anyone with more smarts to me know what a next step is? I hate to just start replacing stuff but that's kind of where I'm at. Here's a photo looking into the tank.
