My motorcycle won't start after i took off gas tank?
Its a 95 honda shadow 1100. Cranks but won't start and when i turn the throttle while cranking it. The sound changes but still don't start
Turning the throttle opens and closes the slides or butterfly whether it's getting fuel or not, that's why the sound changes.
Pull the fuel line off, open the petcock and see if fuel is flowing out of the tank.
If it's not, open the cap to see if the vent has gotten clogged, if still not then you will need to remove the petcock and clean it and the filter.
If gas is flowing out of the tank but not filling the carb/s, then debris has clogged the fuel inlet and float needle.
Edit: Oh yeah, if that petcock requires vacuum, make sure the line is hooked up.
Airlock in the fuel lines, maybe? Ya gotta look at stuff, dude.
You probably need to prime the fuel pump
try here for a solution - switching the kill switch with a five second wait between each switch seems to be the answer

ON the fuel bowls there's a drain - crack it and see if there's any fuel in the bowls - Tim D has a good solution but that does not work with later model Shadows. Just keep the battery fully charged (they need a well charged battery to start - it might crank well but not fast enough to start.
Also they are always a biotch to start after pulling the tank sometimes.
- Why did my gas tank start rusting after I washed it out with muriatic acid? I have a 1978 Honda Express 49cc moped, the gas tank had rust collecting in it and I've tried everything before going to muriatic acid. When I drained the tank out I was surprised, it was super clean, and I was happy. Until I came back out four hours later to see it had started rusting again. I rinsed it with water, blew it out and sloshed it around with gas. Why does it keep rusting? Do I need to use a sealant? What should I do?

Crank position sensor lose What would be the reason trying to get opinion and will look into it whatever is the best possible problem.
- Accidentally Took out the wrong engine cap in my Motorcycle while trying to drain the Engine Oil? My Motorcycle is a Honda XRM. I was trying to change engine oil but opened a different screw/cap just beside the engine oil drain.A 5 inch long spring and a rod with holes came out, i put it back the way i think it should be, then opened the Drain cap, drained the engine oil and filled it with new oil. But when i start the motorcycle it sounded like there's something loose moving inside the engine. What is the rod and spring that came out? Is it critical?
