Hi to the K100-forum,
I currently have a 1987 K100LT in gold trim which I got a couple years back. It sat in a garage for about 15 years before I got my greasy hands on it. Gas tank was badly gunked up, but after a thorough cleaning and other basic maintainance I got it running decently for the past two seasons. Currently I am having some serious problems that are tough to diagnose. Starts fine, but won't rev past 4000 rpm in any gear (not limited like a stuck throttle body but starts to bog down and die), and some added knocking. I assume a fuel issue and I'll start an actual thread if the new fuel injectors on order don't fix the issue. I checked for spun bearing and all looks okay without digging in too much.
As for my BMW experience I own and continuosly try to restore:
1981 BMW 633CSi in Alpine White on ACT gold wheels
1985 BMW e30 318i 2dr in Alpine White (sold )
1985 BMW e30 318i 4dr in Alpine White
1987 BMW K100LT
2003 BMW Z4 with 3.0 swapped engine
Just got a 1972 Porsche 914 CV
This and other BMW threads have been a great help in many endeavors in the past and I'm glad to finally join in the discussion.
