CBR250R won't start

[SMOKEU]

Maybe the fuel pressure is a little high and raising the float bowl too much.

It's been working fine for about 4,000km since I've had the fuel pump replaced.

[=cJ=]

I can smell fuel when trying to start it, and I have already had the fuel pump replaced with one for an old Mini. I bought the pump new.

Cool. Fuel pump getting 12 volts? The relay that runs it can also die.

PM me for an address if you want me to send a CD with a PDF manual, (it'll be quicker than this damned capped interweb >_< ).

I tried to start it again today and it sounds as if it's not getting spark. I'll strip it apart next week and see what happens. Phuck knows how I'm going to get it all back together afterwards, but that's something I'll worry about in another week or 2.

I just replaced the battery on my bike, and now it cranks over nicely but it just won't start. There is a strong smell of fuel so I'm thinking that it may be flooded. I tried starting it with wide open throttle and it still won't start.
I have made sure that the kill switch is on the 'on' position. Do I have to take the spark plugs out to clean them before it will start?

choke stuck on...follow choke cable and turn whats at the end of it..

I gave the battery a good 2 day long charge, and I struggled for about 10 minutes today trying to start it. I ran for about 10 seconds then stalled, and it wouldn't start again. I gave up, and an hour later I tried to start it again. It then started first pop and ran mint, just like it should.
Does anyone here know the easiest way to get to the spark plugs?

did you take it for a run after she started up? i guess if it's a spark plug issue then the run you may/may not have done wouldnt make a difference anyway?
good shit that it started though.

The website www.cbr250.com is an awesome resource for those with 'baby-blade's... I check in on it regularly!

I didn't take it for a thrash afterwards, I just ran it in the garage for about 10 minutes, and gave it a good rev once it warmed up a bit.
