New to this site and Yamaha Venture. Recent purchased a 2002 RSV. Ran fine when I purchased but previous owner said it was hard to start in cold. Get it home and I cannot start this bike. Removed tank, bypassed filter and even ran line with small funnel directly to carbs, still not starting. If I spray carb cleaner in the carbs, it will start and run until cleaner runs out? Pump was not pumping but when I disconnected line and turned on, pump sprayed gas that remained inside of pump. Reconnected pump, made noise and stopped working???
Ordered new pump but shouldn't bike start when I had a funnel with fuel connected? None of gas was sucked from funnel while cranking? Thoughts and/or comments?
The pump will only make the ticking sound a few times and then stops because it is up to pressure so i`m sorry to say it is probably not your fuel pump perhaps it may be your fuel filter and thats not so easy to change, it is just a hard place to get to and if you are lucky you can pull it up from under the seat enough to get at the clamps, good luck.

It is common to have a plugged vent for the gas tank. Next time it quits, as soon as you are safely stopped, pop the gas cap and listen close for a hiss of air rushing into the tank, and it then it can immediately restart and run for a while until the tank has a vacuum in it again. If you have this then you just need to get that vent hose unplugged. A cheap and common fix. Insects are known to crawl up into that hose and die or build a nest.
sorry to say that is not my issue but thanks for trying.

No sorry to say vent line is clear and no hissing sound when you open the gas cap.
Thanks for the suggestions

Hey John, welcome to the forum. :canada:I have a 2009 RSTD, nice bike! Just thinking out loud here... have you checked your battery condition, leads all tight, fully charged etc?
Reason I ask is I had a similar problem with my Kawasaki, out for a ride, just quit, after some time it could be started again, but would quit again.
On the Kawasaki it wasn't the battery but the stator that had 3 coils burned out, so battery wasn't getting charged properly. I replaced the stator, voltage rectifier/ regulator & put a new battery in as it was getting old. No problems since.
May be worth checking your charging circuits. Good luck
The battery is good and it has lots of power as it cranks the motor over like nobody's business.
it cranks good and when cool fires right up, but when it dies i can crank and crank but it will not fire up, but the battery stays strong.

Hello and thank you for the welcome.
I have never done this before, this is the first group or forum I have ever joined.
I'm not the best with technology as I'm now 58 and worked construction all my life so not a lot of computers.
I have a 2008 royal star tour deluxe that I have added a hopped fairing and a super trunk III and last fall it was like it ran out of gas I was going down the road and boom it quit after about an hour it started up and ran good, I put a new fuel filter and thought it was good, then it quit again, so I ordered and put a new fuel pump in, and now it is spring out again and I made it about 2 miles and it quit again.
I have gone through the fuel lines completely and new air filters, I have installed a new pickup coil, and it quit yet again.
I'm trying to fix my bike so I can ride it, I'm now disabled so I can't work and I don't have the money to just take it in to a shop.
I'm hoping to get a direction or a place to look next.
Sincerely JJ

I'm almost certain it is the ignition box
