Well I thought the Gas Tank Vent Valve was the problem but made not.
Last Monday while on the Colorado 500 I had several instances when the fuel pump wouldn't prime. Always after I stopped the engine for a few minutes while waiting on the group to catch up. My trick of pushing down on the kick starter always got it to prime, the internal gear is bad so it wasn't turning over the engine, then I could start it with the button.
Monday evening I installed a regular hose for the gas tank vent and I rode Tuesday thru Friday another 450 + miles and it started fine every time. Even immediately after washing the bike on Friday afternoon.
So yesterday I washed the bike and decided to start it, no fuel pump priming. I tried my new NAPA relay replacing each relay one at a time then turning the key, no priming.
I did install a Clarke 2.9 gal fuel tank before the ride...
I'll check the other fuses sometime this week.
