fueling issue / hesitation above 4k
Posted: Tue Sep 03, 2013 8:56 pm
I changed my thermostat today and I took the tank off and did a compression test whilst there ,
Now went for a test ride and I have hesitation and sounds like a miss fire above 4k all the way through the revs
I re-stripped the bike checked my work (plugs leads fuel pipe air filter ect ) and can't see any issues bike is completely standard l9
The fuel tap is on and choke is off so I'm confused !
i then noticed my fuel pump wasnt working , removed the pump put 12v accross it and no pump ! , took it apart cleaned the contacts and now its running fine with 12v , fuel filter cleaned out aswell
re-fitted and i think its working but cant really tell not sure how to futhur diagnose it ?
the only other issue i have is the starter button is really stiff need to press it hard to get the bike to start so is this related ?
bike runs fine up to about 4/5K and it just stutters but if you wind the power on smoothly it will carry on just when you give it some it doesnt like it and it struggls to gain speed .
really need some help with this now as i need the bike running as its getting on my nerves !
