Hi all
After typing a really nice, polite and sensible first message on the site, it was deleted because the pic was too big..........
That's an hour I'll never get back.
k1100lt, '97, grey, 87k miles new to me
Noisy fuel pump after 5 mins riding, no different full or empty, fuel tank immaculate, blowing through filter is easy and seems like new, pump rubbers etc feel supple and like new.
Screen/sock looks manky. shining a bright led torch through lets no light through
Could the sock be causing enough of a restriction to make the pump noisy after a few minutes(kinda vacuum?) when the bike is switched off the vacuum pulls fuel into the sock which explains the quiet operation for a few mins?
just conjecture, I don't mind buying a pump etc but the bike is in such a mess that I have many many other ways to 'invest it' oh, that and the fact I am pretty sure I have lost most of my life stability and plan on having a midlife crisis later in a week or so. Would be nice if the K could join me on the adventure.
Thanks and I have searched but haven't found any posts similar.
Thanks in advance and I will post up a proper first post soon with some pics of the 'project'
