I covered to this point on my original thread but since it will now start and run I will think it may be an unrelated issue.
85 K100 purchased a couple weeks ago as a non runner.
I replaced the ICU, plug wires, and plugs and the bikes fires immediately on cold start. It warms up, surges RPMs, won't idle, and dies. On warm restart attempts it behaves almost as if I'm back to square one: short cycles of the starter spinning, plenty of flow into and out of the tank . Suggestions made to check the fuel pressure regulator, vacuum pipe to it, as well as making sure the previous owner replaced the temp sensor with the correct part and didn't use sealant tape.
I'm also going to go through all connections including ICU and ECU with contact cleaner and dielectric grease.
Any other suggestions welcomed.
I did make it almost around the block before I found out these boots were made for pushing. Cheers to that!!
