I went to start my bike this morning and .....nothing!! It started and ran for about 10 seconds and then died! I gave it a bath the other day, and thought perhaps I accidentally shut the fuel off thinking that there would be a fuel shut off peacock.. but I don't see anything.
Thanks
John

Hi chefjohn,
The Sprints are fuel inject so no carbs, petcock etc. You can even lift off the tank without spilling gas everywhere. I was sizing mine up today and wondering if it's possible to blow water through the air intake, through the air filter and into the fuel intake. It would take a sustained effort, because there is a drain hole in the bottom of the air filter housing, but it may be possible. Might want to dump your tank and try fresh gas...
