:P, stupid thing.
Firstly, yes, I did run it out of fuel (In my defense, would have had enough to get to the petrol station but i stopped to talk to hanne.
But the point is, was out of fuel, wheeled it through the 'don't go through here part' (walked it to be good), free wheeled down symonds, down anzac, and to that shell down there.
Put fuel in it, then it evidently wouldn't pump. Wouldn't pump for starter motor, or for a decent push start
After a while of trying as best as could, my Dad came out and we tried jumping it off his rovers battery (which was alot juicier than mine after the attempts to electric start). Wouldn't start. Tried squirting fuel directly into carbs, would start for a bit on full choke but throttle was cutting it out.
Kept trying a few different things, pulled off the fuel line and checked if fuel was actually going through, and it was, and it would run aswell, which indicates its more the pump that was the problem.
Anyway, then the awesome thing happened of my starter button cutting out, and so that wouldn't work. Pulled apart the switchbox by the starter button, and it must have been the button because could short circuit it to cause it to work. Still couldn't get it to start tho, and at that point even short circuiting it it wouldn't start. The other stuff in the switchbox still worked, such as lights or the engine cutout, was only the starter wiring, so might have burnt it out with how much was running through it.
Point being, had to hire a trailer, and towed it all the way home, now out of money cause of studylink, out of transport because of random bike failures, and out of time until wednesday to do anything about trying to fix any of it.
Heres hoping that it at least starts back up tomorrow under its own will, meaning I can still use it to get to and from uni until the dumb studylink people pay me so I can actually get it fixed (finally fixed too, not a quick fix).
Idea's on whats wrong or offers to help appreciated
