Hey guys,new to the forums/Just picked up a 02 cannondale 440 canibal.Got it for a good deal and figured i always wanted one so what the ****.
Everything looks good and solid on it as it is now.The guy i bought it from said it has been sitting for 3 months in his shop corner.The problem it has is starting up.I have read about the prime prime prime,dont touch the throttle,etc.The previous owner drilled a hole in the air way,shoots a small blast of carb cleaner in there and it will eventually start after 6 or 7 times.When warmed up it seems better but i know this isnt the way to be starting this thing.He says it has been fully updated,has the s1000 computer in it and is almost positive the injector is dirty.He keeps recommending to send out the computer and throttle bodies to black widow to solve the problem.Can this be a just clean the fuel tank and lines good and run fresh fuel in it with a good cleaner or does anyone have an idea that i should start looking deeper into?thanks for any help,the quad seems to run good but dont want to get stuck with it not starting
