Take some starter fluid and spray it into the AFM.If it starts, you have a
fuel  problem. If it dosent start,you have an electrical problem.Makes
diagnosis much more easy and accrurate.You can do this yourself with  a 1
on a scale of 1 to 10 in mechanical know how.(you did remember to pack
starter fluid?)Starter fluid can be had at a gas station or drug store of 7-
11..You will have to remove the black air filter box first to do this.5
latches and a phillips head screw need loosening. Takes 3 minutes. With the
results of this starter fluid test, we can speculate as to the cause of
your no start with much better results-and even maybe get you going again.
It's California or bust,again!  BD is at the ready to get your order out
within 7 days.
