2015 Honda CBR300R No Start - Bad Fuel Pump - Removing Rust from Fuel Tank

[@JACKAL0PE]

Thanks! I came here looking for how to remove a fuel tank and got the entire course on cleaning the tank, fuel filter and fuel pump. I did everything just as described and today, went riding on my little bike. Thanks for the help!

[@VeryGoodGarage]

Oh man thank you so much! And that's great news! Hopefully it stays running with the new pump.

[@raymondfioravanti4158]

This is truly excellent-content, delivery, camera angles, lighting. Just a great job.

[@alex96610]

I was just thinking the same thing, it wasn't boring with a bunch of talking, and a really nice step by step. Good stuff man.

[@egdcuyagecuysadgcuys]

Straight to the point, with detailed instructions and explanations. Wish more videos were like this.

[@ilyasitnikov4441]

I didn't expect CLR to dissolve the cap seal as well as the aluminium cap and the seam on the overfill line inside of my tank. So not only I had get a new cap with different key but also gas was leaking through an overfill after topping the tank. Used 2 big jugs of clr over 3 days. Would've been cheaper just buying a new tank right away lol

[@gerardfaron1329]

Thank you very much, very clear tuto, I was afraid to remove the fuel tank to change the spark plug and clean everything👍👍👍

[@MyRandomLife247]

Mate this was done like a pro. Really good lighting, really detailed instructions it was great!

[@ramekul9746]

Many thanks for taking the time to make this video. These step by step guides are incredibly helpful.

[@VeryGoodGarage]

You're very welcome!

[@flyme2themoon720]

Finally found good informative walk through style videos..Great video man..

[@ernestrivas2533]

Very nicely done with full explanation to every detail.

[@thangnguyen-tf4yo]

I have been wondering why too much dust came out of the tank when the tank got wet. I think before you filled the tank with the cleaner or toilet cleaner, you had to wait for the tank to be dry. Could you tell me the full name of the toilet cleaner? thanks.

[@VeryGoodGarage]

I think it's just called CLR

[@JamesCutlervk2tim]

Excellent video! I need to do this to my bike so I am glad to see a video on how to do it.

[@JACKAL0PE]

It was really helpful, but a few minor details would've helped too. Did you replace the gas tank gasket? It didn't show you screwing the fuel pump assembly onto the metal ring. It looked as if you just sort of laid it in place. But it can be turned and locked into place, at the expense of easily accessing the ports and electrical plug. Which is correct? Just a few extra minutes for details would've really ramped this up for me.

[@MyRestoration1]

Brilliant instructions thank you!

[@natvega1]

Thats why you should use fuel additives, they coat the inside of the tank and prevent rust,,,,, sta-bil is good, about 1oz. per gas station visit.😮

[@jacojansenvanvuuren4115]

Having a simular problem. You make this look easy!

[@DoMoto_mc]

i could feel the disappointment when that bolt dropped 😆 nice useful video thanks!

[@ernestrivas2533]

Yes, I liked pause as well. Something I would have done as well.

[@tormado]

Thanks!! reviving a 250r

[@dentpulla]

Super duper Dope video. Step by step perfect instructions perfect video couldn't have done it better

[@flyme2themoon720]

Curious on the 8 thumbs down..What more were they looking for..This was perfectly explained with good results..Motorcyle Nazis i guess..

[@CHiTO316]

Thank you for the video it's very helpful! I left my 2018 CBR300R parked in my garage for 6 months so the AGM battery died. I purchased a new Lithium iON battery and have it on a battery tender so that works great now. My only concern is when I try to turn it on. I hear the motorcycle take a couple of seconds to turn on and I feel like it bogs down and I have to give it some throttle for it to stay on like normal. I am assuming it's because it's 6-month-old gas in there right? could that be the reason? If so, will riding it and completely draining the tank solve this issue so it can start up nicely again? I don't see any rust at all inside my tank. Thank you for all the help!

[@micnmix2276]

so much information,,,helped me so much.. thank u

[@infinity8x3]

I only have a little rust in mine. Was in it when I bought it. It hasn't affected anything and isn't getting worse. I have run a couple tanks of sea foam. Anything else I should do or just ignore it?

[@enriquemora2760]

Hey brother very nice video. I have a question what size and type of socket did you use to remove the 2 blue injector screws? Thank you so much.

[@GrayOlson]

Looks like 8mm to me or maybe 10mm. One of the two. Pretty much everything on these honda bikes are either 8, 10, or 12mm.

[@CameronRides]

These videos are legit dude! Keep it up!

[@armanusa986]

Agreed best video so far

[@mbj1163]

Great, video. Very nicely edited. I assume you gave the fuel tank a fresh water rinse after that after pouring off the CLR - water solution. How did you dry it out to ensure there weren't pockets of water? Was it as simple as just pointing a blower attachment from a compressor hose and blasting the droplets out?

[@micnmix2276]

thank you, it made my work easier....

[@adamchew79]

great one brother... i gonna try by myself on my bike

[@golvellius6855]

Gonna rez my bike this weekend

[@kevinhorsch2030]

great Video. I have a 2015 as well with 600 miles recently stoped running felt like it just ran out of fuel and shutdown and never restart. would not start with either until I disconnected the clips connected to fuel tank at that point when sprayed it would run briefly like in your vid. I have cleaned injector like in your vid, I have ordered fuel pump and filter so haven't quite finished. Do you think it could be something else besides pump? just seemed odd that it would not run till some of the electronics disconnected.

[@VeryGoodGarage]

There's two other things it could be; there's a tip sensor that cuts fuel if it thinks the bike is on its side, you can just unplug it from the inside of one of the panels and bridge the wires. The other thing is the kickstand being down also cuts the fuel, so I'd make sure that the wiring for that is also good

[@VeryGoodGarage]

There's probably more things than just those that it could be, but those are just off the top of my head, assuming that it isn't the fuel pump

[@AlpineDividends]

Perfect! thanks

[@rxe6868]

Hey good video! I had a look for the pump you got online and they come in kits? Did you just buy the pump by itself if so link please :)

[@VeryGoodGarage]

Just the pump, all the links are in the description!

[@toxicmutalationz3363]

This video saved my wallet and a argument with the wifey ..like from 496$ to 46$ ..swapping my oem pump to a aftermarket assembly 😅...broke a nipple on the oem assembly

[@audiemuniz6445]

I won't clean the injectors that way,cause you could damage the inside of the injector.

[@Rcproductions99]

Help meeeee I have a Honda cbr250r 2012 and it does not turn on, the injector does not receive good energy to turn on

[@jakewetherill5326]

Do you remember what your torque setting was for the fuel pump plate bolts?

[@Wingedmechanic]

12 N-m or 9 lb-ft

[@C_Florida863]

What about your fuel pressure regulator?

[@jamesfarrell1600]

)Honda 300r 2014 model starts runs for a few minutes then cuts out ;then start again run for a few minutes cuts out again got 2700 miles on clock .".

[@olondeeznutz]

Check if it has a recall on the fuel level sensor. It can short circuit the pump and cause engine to stall

[@jamesfarrell1600]

Thanks mate

[@rahasria8914]

Nice it helps me a lot

[@smokeymos7000]

I’m guessing all this is the same for cb300f

[@pax256]

Yeah just realized my 2013 CBR250R got rusty in the tank after a year in storage... Fuel gauge blinks and bike wont start. Wish they would line or build the tank with plastic to avoid this kind of needless thing. Not buying another Honda ever again.

[@sheezy2526]

My 300r too. But I think it is the same for all manufacturers unless u have a carbon fibre tank.

[@pax256]

@@sheezy2526 You wont find an atv (well maybe save the honda?) that uses rust prone internal gas tanks. Its all plastic or some such material. I get you want metal for shiny bike tanks but they could line it cheap.

[@Dankyjrthethird]

Any bike you buy will have the same problem. Just don’t let ethanol gas sit in the tank for years at a time, it’s not that hard

[@mendingmotos]

Ugh this is what i'm dealing with now, mine looks wayyy worst then yours :(

[@motoo_couple]

My Zx10r also starts for 2 sec and then turn off.

[@jonathanredic7024]

Hellow sir i really need help my motor cycle does not turn over my fuel pump and injector works sparkplug works to but when i did the trick were i spay a starting fluid in it id doesn’t even want to start anything will help please

[@kaybuilt]

kinda late but it might be the starter relay or yo fueses

[@miamimotogroup5371]

Bought a 2016 cbr500 5 days later it started sputtering and eventually stalling. Should I keep and have dealer fix, or return?

[@VeryGoodGarage]

I suppose that really depends on what you want to do

[@armanusa986]

Thank you

[@markap6]

I cleaned and sealed tank, replaced pump, filter and injector. Still no start and fuel lights blink. Any ideas?

[@VeryGoodGarage]

I'm assuming you tested with a spark plug tester to make sure you're getting spark?

[@markap6]

@@VeryGoodGarage yes, runs (a little) with starter fluid

[@ktmkaos]

You would hear the fuel pump prime if it was any good ..plonkas

[@KendraKjolseth]

So I flushed my tank with white vinegar while the fuel pump was still installed. Is my whole fuel pump assembly bad now? Or can I just replace the pump itself?

[@VeryGoodGarage]

Unless you ran the pump with the vinegar in it you should be fine, but yeah you probably need to replace the pump

[@KendraKjolseth]

My bike has also been sitting for two years without being started. I took the fuel pump out and it was incredibly rusted. Thank you. I will try replacing just the pump itself.

[@VeryGoodGarage]

Yeah the rust is definitely bad for the pump, that's what we used the toilet bowl cleaner for in the tank, basically just to clear the rust so we wouldn't ruin another pump

[@KendraKjolseth]

@@VeryGoodGarage I noticed you didn’t seal the tank after flushing. Any reason why? Last question hahah.

[@VeryGoodGarage]

Seal the tank?

[@Noisy_Boy16]

Good work

[@armanusa986]

You know i did everything you say , i hear my new pump is running but doesn’t pump gas , can you give me any clue

[@VeryGoodGarage]

Sadly I'm not so sure :( We had a pretty rusted tank, which is what I assume killed our other pump, but cleaning the tank, cleaning our injector, and replacing the pump was all it took for us

[@vrijeshrao]

Very good broo

[@maddiewood7953]

Hey guys, my CBR300R won’t start and it’s just making this rapid fire buzzing sound when you push the start button. It lights up and primes, and it’ll start when push started but won’t run for long before dying. Any ideas?

[@JuanCarlos-wc4bs]

Mine has the same issue right now . Did you figure out the problem ?

[@maddiewood7953]

@@JuanCarlos-wc4bs Yeah I took it to the shop and they fixed it up. its a 300$ part in Canada. They said, now I forget the exact name of the part but, it is the main electrical component of the bike. i think its the rectifier

Dying battery. Or Loose /damaged contact on the starter relay assy.

Who else cringed when he set that tank on the rust particles? 😂

Subscribed, you are the fucking master. thanks a lot!

[@1jaca]

super

[@Brokeman86]

Can we clean the pump?

[@VeryGoodGarage]

If you're asking if you can clean it to fix it, then no, when it's rusted that bad it means the pump is ruined and needs replaced.

[@christosx13]

Yes you can. I had throttle issues after 6000 rpm after 1 year of not using my bike (vstrom 650) and i found out that the tank was rusted inside. I took the tank off and i found out that the fuel pump was full of mud and the interior filter was blocked. I derusted the tank with electrolysis and i dissasempled the pump in pieces and cleaned everything changed the outter filter and cleaned high pressure filter with carb sprey and blowed air. The bike runs better than new after that and the pump is in excellent condition after 2 years now.

Mi cbr300r 2015 se jalonea en baja, ¿ Qué puede ser?

[@VeryGoodGarage]

Hola Alfredo! Como que se jalonea? Y en baja, te refieres a en primera?

[@alfredoargueta2819]

@@VeryGoodGarage Le explico con más detalle; el arranque normal y muy bien, pero al dar marcha a las 3 mil - 6 mil RPM pega tirones como si se tratase de falta de combustible. He cambiado filtro de aire y lavado filtro de gasolina tratando de atenuar los posibles agentes asociados a este tipo de falla más sin embargo el problema persiste. ¿ Podría ser suciedad en el inyector?

[@alfredoargueta2819]

El problema no tiene dependencia con el número de velocidad mecánica.

[@VeryGoodGarage]

@@alfredoargueta2819 Puede que sea el inyector, el cual es fácil de sacar y limpiar como hicimos nosotros. Y no costaría nada si lo intentas! Pero supongo que también puede ser la bomba de gasolina, como también nos estaba dando problemas la de nosotros. Aunque sin duda es raro que solo pase entre esos RPM. No puedo decir con certeza, pero intentaría esas dos cosas.

I'm not sure if it's actually part of the pump or not, but it does come with a replacement strainer

[@chocolate_squiggle]

Please, that music in the background is immensely distracting. I know it's very very low volume but it still sounds like someone's talking over you at the beginning of the video. I really like the first 45 seconds how you've explained the starting fluid and how that's narrowed down your diagnoses, it looks like it will be fantastic information and presented well - but I can't with that background abomination.

[@VeryGoodGarage]

Thank you for the feedback! You're not the first to mention how distracting it is. Pretty sure it's not the volume but the type of music, but we're definitely trying to improve on that with our newer videos, we experimented with nothing playing but it's almost *too* dead in a way that's also distracting, but we'll see, you love and you learn
