I've got a 1985 K100rt, that I bought as a non runner, as it kept flooding out and got it running after cleaning the temp sensor and ran ok for a while revving out ok, but wouldnt idle. So I put new rubbers on the injectors as they were blowing around the seal where they sit in the holes.
changed the oil and filters ran it up, with new plugs and leads and was ok. Now it dont want to start, it fires and wont pick up. I noticed inside the tank that the fuel filter had been bypassed and the fuel line is connected straight to the pump. I removed the pump today to check the gauze filter to see if it was blocked, and its ripped and split, and noticed that the end of the pump where the gauze sits looks like theres something broke with a hole and should there be a pipe for the pump to suck or pick up with? Is this correct with them? Also should the pump tick all the while when the ignition is on or only when the engines running?
Would be grateful of any advice please as to what to check for next, Thanks Steve.
