i bought a 2002 cannondale that will start and idle for a couple of seconds, but not run on its own.it will cut off as soon as u hit the throttle.i can feed it gas manually by spraying gas into the intake with a spray bottle.i checked fuel pressure it had about 55psi the bike has brand new injectors still having the same problems.

First thing is check the fuel filter. You might find it very dirty and it won't allow the fuel to flow.

Do you hear or see the fuel returning to the tank?

Is the returning fuel a steady steam?

Have you pulled the injectors to make sure they aren't clogged?

Do you have a D&M kit or know someone that does? It could be a setting of the ECU. I would also look at the coil, because of the location you might have a cracked one due to age and heat. This would give you a weak spark and may not allow it to run.

If you log onto Cannondale rider dot com or Cannondale central dot com there are much more knowledgable people there who should be able to take care of you. Heck they may even live close and will stop by or allow you to bring it to them.
