Dear bikers,
On the road for 16 months already (Switzerland to Singapore) I am stuck in India because I believe a fuel/air system problem in my 1985 K100 RS. The problem appears randomly and mainly in low rpm. When I open the throtle the bikes doesn't answer or does a "break" and only several seconds later, suddenly, it starts to accelerate. The bike is running with very low power but maybe because we are above 3'000 m and didn't install an altitude plug (yet) on it.
I have checked the sparks and air filter. The pump is only 1 year old but it does a weird noise sometimes but seems to work correctly (test on battery).
Please advice where I can/should start searching for the faulty part.
Thanks in advance.
