Hi,
I recently had a couple of cut-outs while riding that brought me to a stop. After a minute I was able to restart until it happened again. After a while it stopped happening and I thought I was OK.
Wrong. Yesterday I was unable to pull away. Since I have been unable to start the bike.
The problem is that the fuel pump is not starting. No juice , no start.
I have traced back as far as the pump relay , which is getting power but is not getting the other side of the coil pulled low by the control box. Following the circuit it seems that one side is permanently fed with "12V" once the key is on and the kill switch is set to run. This much is fine.
So I hit the black box.
Is there something else that the controller is sensing that I should check?
There must be a pressure sensor somewhere since the pump does not run continually until I start the motor. But for now it does not start at all.
Any suggestions?
TIA.
