I didn’t ride her for three days and now she’s angry.
I went out to ride her to the gas station for a top-up ahead of the run to the event tomorrow. No start, no start, no start.
Pulled the tank 4 pin, cleaned, dried, no start. Pulled the FICU plug, cleaned, dried, no start. Tank off, 4 pin, no start, ICU clean, dry, no start. :dunno2: Pulled the FICU plug again, cleaned, dried and she started on full choke but when given any throttle, died. This went on for about 5 minutes until she was a little warmer but then would not stay running unless the throttle was open even on full choke.
I let her die, threw on my helmet, jumped on started and rode off. Once the bike was up to temp I closed the choke. First set of lights she died but then restarted off choke and idled fine. This was a hit or miss for the next 10 junctions/lights, the ride between each set of lights was a mixture of no issue or a miss firing feeling as if running out of fuel, very spluttey, feeling starved.
Got fuel but then half a mile from home she died at the side of the road. I restarted her and no complaints, rode home, pulled up to the garage and she died.
What do you guys think? Fuel Pump, injectors, FPR, electrical. Potentially the pump is too far down in the holder as Laitch once experienced. FYI the filter is new and the bike was running perfectly when parked-up on Monday.
It’s worth noting also, I changed the fuel sender on Monday when I painted the tank seam... could this be a problematic 4 pin?
I have a video here, the bike is at temp and maintaining an idle now albeit erratic:
