Ok so I havent been aroung here for a while. I have been pretty wraped up in trying to get a new motorcycle recently. Well on thursday I found it! Its a 2002 Susuki GS500, only a few small scratches here and there but, with 3,500 miles its just broken in.

...So thats the good. Well the bad is that on friday morning(the next day) I got in my tour to go to work and no start. Cranks over fine but, I dont here my fuel pump making any noise at all.

Here's a few pics of my tour killer.

Oh yeah? Right on my Dad has a 2004 Road King and Mom has a dyna glide.

Today I went down to the 122nd. K-Mart were all the bikers met up to go to Dorinbeckers. Then went on a awsome ride though the twisties with out having to slow down for mom and dad.

I guess the bad news wasnt so bad. I went out side this morning and beat my fuel pump like it had kicked my dog. This got me now were. I looked under the hood for any lose or damaged wires, nothing. Then I noticed that there was some acidic dust on my power distirbution box from the battery that was in my car when I bought it. Huh I wonder if that could cause some bad connections with my fuses? Yeah it did. I got my car to start and I will be taking it in to work tomarrow to clean that up and replace some fuses.

....not so bad after all

That's good! A disaster turned cleaning job.

I've done the same, only mine was a loose starter wire. I was especially embarassed because I had my car towed to a shop. They had a half cocked smile on their face when they told me. Still got charged $35 since they had to put it on a lift and I had full length headers.
