Hello all
Picked up an orange '99 Firestorm a couple of weeks back - non-starter - waiting on an ex-Honda mechanic mate to look into the problem. Reading what I can find in the forum I think the (M357T) alarm was removed at some point and that's when the problem started (just my guess). No sign of the alarm anywhere. Anyway, looking forward to taking her for a shakedown asap and meeting up with some of you!

Welcome to the forum. Hopefully it will be something as simple as the ignition cut out needing reconnecting. Does the bike crank over or is it dead dead.

Have a read through the read me for new members below.

thanks all
The engine turns over but no more.. electrics all work. Adding fresh fuel tomorrow, guessing the carbs will need a thorough cleaning after standing for a long time. but see how it goes. Realistically. I'm just playing with the easy bits 'til Hond-matey can get his hands on it..

welcome in. Massively technical Storm buffs on here, the best Bike forum you will be on. they have sorted my CB50 amazingly well

[macdee]

Best to clean the carbs anyway
Pull a lead of and see if you have a spark

[fabiostar]

welcome along sir and hope you get the storm sorted

if all else fails. paint it yellow cause they always go well lol

[bald_pig]

ORANGE!!!

Best colour, no matter what they try to tell you

[Mav617]

Bet my Teal one is faster than your orange one (whilst it's not running and if ridden by someone else when it is)

Welcome aboard buddy.
