Hi all
Time for the cavalry. I have been at this problem off and on for a couple of weeks and can't see the trees anymore. I have earched the forum but can't find an answer...
1. Bike was not started for along while (months)
2 Wouldn't fire. Had no noise at fuel pump.
3 Pulled it out and found the crud issue (again!)
4. Cleaned it all out. Cleaned the motor and it run and bench pumps fuel. Battery fully charged and strong.
5. Replaced the internal fuel filter.
6 Rebuilt the 4 injectors. Tested. All ok.
7 Pumps fuel at LHS end of fuel rail
8 Still won't fire.
9 Checked and cleaned spark plugs. All fine
10 Tried Starting Spray into cylinder 1 and start. No. Pulled the plug out and it seemed to be dry...
Question: should the pressure at the LHS end of the fuel rail be fairly strong when you press the start button?
and
If I disconnect the complete fuel rail and press Start will the system fire fuel out the injectors?
Other than that any advice welcome.
Regards
