Yes, that is what I meant to write.
This bike was running about 6mth ago. It started off the button but did not run smoothly. After checking a few things, I suspected flowmeter and pulled it out check it. In doing so the large diam plastic tube from AFM to inlet manifold split. The bike got put to one side because I did not have time.
Yesterday I tried to take another look but I forgot there was no AFM and the input was not linked up .
Surprisingly it did actually start, though ruff as guts and sounded like it was only firing on one cylinder.
Once I started checking around I found the missing AFM and got onto it. I fixed inlet pipe and put it all back together.
Now it won't start at all ! Not a pop ! Battery is good and gives a good fast turn over but not a sound from the motor. I checked sparks , a quick check in timing of cylinder #1 with a strobe, then pulled the injector ramp out to see if any were stuck. I span the motor to see the spray pattern and it FIRE UP ! , without the injectors. It ran good and even for just under a second and then stalled.
I concluded it must have been flooded and thought fine , it'll run now.
I put the injectors back in and ...... nothing. Not a pop.
It seems that it may be spitting too much fuel and is flooding straight away.
Is it possible I've damgaged something by firing it up without the AFM connected? Any other suggestions?
TIA.
