2012 Ninja 250 Refuses To Start
I have a Ninja 250 that hasn't been started for about 3 months. It turns over and made an attempted to start maybe twice, but it no longer does that. It just turns over without ever starting now.
I tested the battery, not the issue. I drained the float bowl mulitiple times after attempting to start. I syphoned the gas and added new gas with seafoam. Still nothing. I'm frustrated and don't know what else to do. Please Help!

I've also tried starter fluid as well.

Check spark/plugs, fuel flow. If not, thoroughly clean carbs.
Turn the fuel switch to PRIME and see if it will start. |

I would have hoped to just push the button and the thing fire right up seeing that it only has 300 miles on it. What does turning the fuel switch to prime do?

check spark, check plugs. if necessary change the plugs.
how long did you let it sit on PRIME? It basically allows fuel to flow freely. Vacuum leaks? check all vacuum hoses. check fuel flow. Last resort, pull the carbs and check for diaphragm leaks. |

I didn't let it sit long. Flipped it tried to start then went inside. Came back and tried again and it worked. Maybe flipping it did the trick. Thanks.

Strange...maybe something was caught in the petcock. I'd keep an eye on it. Turn it back to the ON position and see how it does.
