Hello again,
I managed to get my fuel pump working again - not too sure how. I'm glad it responded to my efforts.
I tried to start up the bike. It wouldn't! I reckon the fuel injectors may be to blame. I put them back with new o rings at the weekend. I gave them a clean but there had been water in the system and perhaps there's rust in them? I have added an injector cleaner to the fuel - maybe that will help.
There is an unidentified noise when the engine turns over. It's not a "knocking" sound and there was no rumble through the footrests when I had it running prior to the work I have started.
I would say it sounds a bit like an electric drill - when the bit is biting a hard wall. I don't think it's the bearings and am wondering if it could be to do with the timing chain?
Well, any thoughts on this would be welcome.
Cheers,
Neal
