Hi,
Purchased an 87 K100RT a few months back which had sat idle for unknown years and I am finally getting around to getting it back on the road. Have replaced the fuel pump, filter, hoses, fuel sender unit, relay and battery. I haven't taken the injectors out nor replaced air filter as yet but that's on the cards in coming week or so.
My initial query relates to the fuel pump etc. When I turn power/ignition key on there is no 'prime up' sound coming from the fuel pump. When I press the start button the bike turns over but doesn't start and when I let go of the start button the fuel pump can then be heard for a second or two. Have seen numerous 'how to' videos where you can hear the fuel pump engaging when first turning key but mine not doing so. Thoughts?
Thankyou
Tony
