I recently bought a non running 2011 FZ8 that had been sitting outside for a while near the beach so it had some weathering. Had to replace entire fuel tank (rusted all the way through) , fuel pump, battery, etc. Current problem is that only runs while I hold the starter button, if i let go the fuel pump shuts off and it dies after a few seconds. It does not prime when i turn the key on. I looked at the manual and wiring diagram but I'm not the best with electrical stuff. Here's what i've checked so far
-replaced starter relay with cheap ebay one (wouldn't turn over when i first got it)
-tip over sensor
-neutral switch
-kickstand switch
-took kill switch off and sprayed with cleaner, seemed ok, kill switch does work
-replaced fuel pump relay with one from another running bike, no change
-no codes come up
Another thing probably unrelated is that the battery is not charging. I took the flywheel out to look and everything seemed ok there, so probably the rectifier but want to test stator first. I do have a 2008 FZ1 that i can swap parts from if needed. Any help is appreciated. Thanks
