Default Help!!! part 2

so i took everyones advise and did all the troubleshooting. i have a 2004 zx6r and it wont start. at first i checked the spark plugs and charged the battery.i keep getting no where. sometime it will boop and start for a few seconds but wont hold.after posting here you guys told me to troubleshoot some more. so i took everythin apart again. did a test for the fuel pump and its working. i did the spark plugs test against the heads and i get a spark. wireing is working fine. i am stumped. i even got a new battery on it. what can it be?


also i noticed after trying to start it a few times i get white smoke coming out the back i am guessing its fuel i dunno if that helps troubleshooting. also the spark plugs come out a bit wet .


thank you for your help!!!

I don't know anything about these bikes. Do they have carbs with bowls? If so then get that gas out, by draining, and let in fresh, then try to start. If it doesn't have carbs, then never mind.
