Hi all,
I have a 2g gsx with a 90 6 bolt, and I am having trouble getting her fired up after sitting for a few years in my garage. I’m hoping if I explain the situation, someone more knowledgeable than myself could advise me on what the issue is most likey to be.
I removed as much gas as I could get, and put in about 12.5 gallons today (still not full) and sprayed in some starter fluid. When I try starting it the starter sounds as it should, and belts are turning, but it doesn’t fire. I can hear the fuel pump turning on as well.
When I checked the spark plugs, they seemed pretty corroded, and I cleaned them up, and got them to look better but still couldn’t get her running.
The next step I was planning is to test the spark components, and replace as necessary, but I was hoping to hear what you guys think. I’m pretty low on funds and am really trying to avoid buying anything I don’t need.
One thing that is odd is the tank is only reading at about 1/3 full, when I turn the key, but I know it has more fuel than that.
Please let me know if there’s other information that would help diagnose this.
Thanks for reading
