True. But don't have the engine on the jumper vehicle running.

I am curious if you got this issue sorted, and if so, what was the culprit ?

GPzPop - Unfortunately I haven't checked up to see if I'm still having the starting issue.

We're getting major construction done on the house so I'm commuting by truck and dropping off my dog at my Grandma's house so he's not in the way of the workers

I have time this weekend and I'm also going to clean the connectors and test the fuel pump to see if that might be an issue. Given you have a similar bike, do these J-series ninja have fueling issues? I'm still running the original pump with 100k plus miles.

hi Luis,
mine is just past 175k (!) i did have to replace fuel pump. symptoms of that issue are that the bike would run about 1/2 mile then quit

I was looking at replacement pumps on ebaymotors and it looks like replacements can be had for about $40, might just get one since it's soo cheap.
