My name is Kirk and I live in Nicaragua. I recently bought a k100 off a friend that flew back to she states to have a tumor checked in his throat. It ended up being cancer in hes larynx (voice box), kidneys, brain and lymph nodes. He made it 2 weeks.
Fast forward a week and I got the new injectors brought to me by a visiting friend. Replaced the injectors, that the previous owner said was all the bike needed. The bike turns over and fires if I hold the throttle full open but only revs at 1000 rpm, FULL OPEN. I've drained the battery twice trying to start the bike. The third time I tried starting her, I had some electrical issues.
1. The starter stuck on start after releasing the starter button.
2. The starter stayed stuck after I turned the power switch both left and right to the off positions.
3. The starter stayed stuck after turning off the ignition with the key, but the headlight illuminated while trying to start without the key turned on.
I also have a fuel leak somewhere because there is fuel leaking from under the back of the motor from the 4 exhaust pipes.
I can't find parts here, I have no BMW certified mechanic (just the Clymer and owners manuals) I need some guidance.
The only one in the country that has worked on this bike or PROBABLY any other k100 just passed away.
