So, this weekend's camping trip was to Ipswich with the Suffolk Sidecar Club. I loaded the outfit and set off at about 10 on Friday morning. Some 70 miles later at Higham Ferrers I stopped to fill up with petrol and then disaster, I couldn't get it started again.
After fiddling around for an hour or so, I was obliged to call the RAC and get returned to home on the back of a truck.
Arriving home at around 5 in the afternoon, it was a panic re-packing of all my gear (of course needing some different kit) onto the solo K, eventually setting off for Suffolk at about 6. A subsequent blast down the M6 and A14 rather than a prettier route meant that I arrived in Ipswich with time to get the tent sorted well before dark, but, sadly, too late for the traditional fish and chips dinner.
Tomorrow I'll go through CF's excellent trouble shooting guide (see the portal page if you haven't yet discovered it) looking for the problem.
The RAC man's injector pulse checker showed no signal to the injectors, so that's my starting point.
Happy days ahead for me.
Paul.
