Hi, it has been awhile since I had a problem with the bike, this one has me stumped.
History. A few months ago I went to start the bike and had to crank longer than I ever had to. Stopped and regrouped, at that point I realized the pump wasn't running, not at the press of the starter button or when cranking.
I tested the pump,the connectors both before the tank and at the tank, all had continuity. By some magic the pump ran and continued to run.
I went start last night (bike has sat for three weeks or so) same thing, no pump, this time wiggle the wires at the disconnect and pump runs.
Try again today nothing will make it run. I tear into it, cut out the connector, put 12 volts to the green /white wire pump runs. Ok check continuity for that wire to the temp relay, all good. Clean the connectors on the black fuel pump relay , no change, I hooked a 12 volt light on the pump wire(green white) so I will know if I get juice when I hit starter button.
Questions. If the starter button will connect to spin the starter does that mean it is sending juice to pump relay, or is there something to check at that end?
I have switched relays and no change, I guess it is down to temp sensor, I have a extra temp sensor I could switch with, can I just hook up the spare sensor off the motor and ground it to the block?
Thanks
Brian
