Hi all
I just stripped my bike and fitted a new temperature sender unit, the one for the fan and fI computer, and a sender unit in place of the drain plug.
I cleaned all connectors again, checked all resistances etc from temp sender and air flow meter and everything is fine.
set idle to about 1000 rpm then set the idle switch so i could hear the click and everything is running great.
Now when i press the start button the bike starts and ticks over superb without having to touch the throttle and it revs nice, the temperature gauge is working too.
Now the problem.
I took it for about a 10 mile spin and the new gauge started to go to 120 degrees, i put some petrol in and when i got home it wasnt running very well, when i stopped and started it, it wouldnt idle running very rough, so i let it cool and tried again but still no good.
i removed the spark plug coil cover and the hall censor covers to check and now it wont start at all.
I removed the thermostate and tried it in some hot water and it didnt move, so looks like the water wasnt cooling down.
Would overheating burn out the hall censor? is there a way of checking them with a meter instead of the led test?
Also i checked a spark plug against the earth of the engine and im not getting a spark.
This is so annoying as the engine was running sweet when i put everything back together.
Sorry for the long post but thought it would be best to explain everything i have done.
