09 RS VENTURE GT NO START

[72NOVA502]

I was hoping it was the dreaded fuel pump relay issue, but to no avail....
Trying to get the sled out of storage and has no fuel...I do not hear the fuel pump cycling like normal, replace relay, and still nothing... I can feel the relay click when holding it. All fuses look good, Anyone seen any other issues? Thanks.......

Check the fuses? You can also pull the fuel pump connector and apply 12V directly to see if it works.

Do the gauges power up and crank? If it has the red relay, it shouldn't click. Check for power and ground at the relay according to the schematics.

Thankyou....I checked fuses....Gauge powers up.. Yes it cranks over....Fuel pump connector location?

I believe that has carbs yet probably doesn’t have a Electric fuel pump

Thanks but no carbs.....first year of EFI

Fuel pump connector location?

I know for sure there is one right on top of the tank at the pump (need to remove seat). Not sure if there is another one upstream from there. If your pump isn't coming on, you're likely headed that way to check if voltage is getting there.

Will do Thankyou......

Does it have Carbs ?? or is it Fuel injection ? not sure on that year of Venture . If it has carbs the bowls might be dry if it's been sitting for a while . You can crank forever sometimes and it won't start . You can blow air into the Vent line . located in left foot well . Small line with a spring around it going into the Support bar of the foot well. I take a air compressor and turn it down to 20# and blow just a little air up the line you can see the gas cap rise just a little . Have a clamp ready and clamp off the hose to keep the air in the tank. wait 2 mins and start cranking . Should fire ! then replace the line on the fitting . Once you have done it a few times it only takes a min. Once bowls are full you should never have to do it until next year .......

If it's Fuel injection follow Mooseman's example

He did respond that it's EFI.

Any idea how to get the seat off this thing......? Not the same as my apex.....

The 2009 RS Venture was carb'd but the 2009 RS Venture GT came with EFI.

Did you check the starter relay connections for corrosion? Also, the fuse in the starter relay is for the Fuel Injection System.

I have a friend's 2009 Venture GT in my shop that displays code 12. Replaced the starter relay with a known good one and just clicks and won't turn over. spun the clutch in the forward direction and it spins fine. tried to spin backwards just a bit and no go at all. Starter toast or the one way clutch??

Pull the starter and see if it's locked up. It might have broke magnets.

Sounds like that is what’s gotta happen.
