    Hi All
    I have just acquired a 2011 T100 efi having been in storage 3+ years
    Trying to re-commission it now
    Changed fuel
    Renewed battery
    Lubed bores
    Electrics all working, fuel pump etc.
    Spins over ok on starter
    But no "go" ?
    Has the bad old fuel blocked something ? seems not getting through to injectors ? No fuel smell at pipes .

    Any ideas please. ... T

    Battery :confused:
    I know you say you’ve done it but it MUST have at least 12.6 volts otherwise the ECU just won’t let it start :confused:

    Blocked injectors?
    If its getting the fuel pump to prime (and get pressure) then I suppose its that as there’s no smell of fuel.
    If was no spark, then it'd probably smell of fuel i suppose at the exhaust end.
    Put a smidge of petrol in the bores and try to start it?

    You said the electrics all work, but have you taken out the plugs and checked for a spark?

    Have you checked the air filter in case it’s been turned into a nest when it was stored :eek:

    Blocked injectors from old fuel varnish is my guess. The injector actuator is a solenoid powered up by the ECU. I would try carb cleaner via the fuel line at the throttle body (plugs out) and crank the engine to open the solenoids.

    I'd go along with @Callumity, but a couple of weird Triumph things I've come across- have you tried starting with side stand up? My mate's Trident spun very strongly but refused to fire. Side stand up, fired first prod. go figure! And check your headlamp-on some models like my Speed Triple bike won't start with headlamp out. Check bulb and fuse. To be fair I don't think it will spin on the starter mind but I can't remember. Good luck anyhow :)

    I am going out on a limb here...

    Did you charge up the new battery before putting in the bike? A lot of "new battery" are not charged up at all.

    Even if you have jumper connected, it might not have enough juice right away to initiate a start...

    Ive done it !
    Either it wasnt in neutral ... Derrrr !
    Or the direct wiring from battery to injector, touching the contacts making the injector open/close few times to free them off.
    Ill never know now if was simply not in neutral or sticky injectors .... oh well , off to the MOT station next new year ...
    It runs a dream now !
