Hi K riders,
I finished off the last job, a bit of drive train stuff. So now to the unreliable idle and such.
The K100 has been easy to start, but hard to keep going especially when it's yet to warm up, even then it needs a bit of nurturing to keep it running while stopped at lights and the like.
OK so first stop after referring to CF's ignition trouble shooting doc (thanks for that by the way CF).... Fuel pump pressure, which from memory should be 65psi out of the pump. Oooooooh doggie, mine is delivering over 100, it's topping out the gauge (dodgy chinese one, but I did plug the upright bike pump into it and it seems to be reading accurately enough)
Oh OK sorry just checked (CF doc) again, problem with the pumps internal relief valve? serviceable problem? I'll keep looking.
