My bike is trying to get me to hate it!
Last time I rode my Griso 1100 in January, it ran fine.
Came to it yesterday and the Shidi lithium battery was low. Really low - 11.10v. Long story short, after 10(!) hours of charging, I got it up to full charge. Left it over night and it is holding at 13.2v.
So today I thought I'd fit the battery, try again. It cranks fine, but won't fire up. No smell of fuel which is odd since I've tried it 20+ times trying various things.
Sparkplug looks like below. I did try to check a spark which did show on one side, couldn't get one on the other. But it was really hard to get a decent ground on the engine with the plug so I may have to try that again.
Question: Does this look like no-fuel issue judging by the spark plug? I am wondering if that silly pipe in the fuel tank needs replacing. Would a weak / damaged battery maybe cause this? What is the ID of the replacement fuel hose that I need to replace this pipe?
Thanks!
