Hi I had an issue today with my 1990 K100 Lt Just after leaving work and about 5mins after starting it up (so not reached norm temp) I lost power under 2000 rpm. It felt like a bad earth or fuel starvation. When i tried to accelerate it would not have it but did not cut out but was running really rough. I the turned it off and after about 2 mins started it and it was fine i then did 30 miles on it not a problem! Just now i went out and same thing!
Last week i noted it sounded rough once ant so this week end i serviced it and did a few bits to ir as follows:
Oil and oil filter
Fuel filter (arrow facing away from pump)
Air filter
4 bosch plugs (the same as what was in it before)
New rear brake disk and final drive spline lube
I have fitted a temporary new key ignition (did that Tonight as i taught the problem today was a faulty ignition)
New clutch cable (last month I replaced the rear main seal and fitted a new clutch and did main spline lube) (I have probably done 1000 miles since then)
I am wondering if it could have lost fuel pressure?
Could it be electrical? like the start of something like a coil failing?
Would a new fuel filter do this if faulty?
Thanks in advance K.
