Laitch -- I get 0.0 when touching the meter's red and black leads in Ω mode, and OL when they're not touching. The resistance between 10 and 5 is OL, and the resistance between 5 and 13 is 0.0.

With the multimeter turned On, did you touch the red and black probes together in the Ω setting before testing?
What is the resistance between 10 and 5?What is the resistance between 5 and 13?

The temp relay has no impact on the reading at pin 10. Pin 13 is ground.

The coolant sensor is a dual sensor with two wires - one wire goes to pin E of the temp relay and the other wire goes to Pin 10 of the L-Jetronic. You can use any ground or Pin 13 for the other ohmmeter lead.

The temp sensor grounds via the threads.  To measure an uninstalled temp sensor you measure from one terminal or the other to the metal body of it.

The Motobrick Workshop / Dies when Hot
« Last post by MarcoK75c on May 15, 2024, 08:30:34 PM »
I have a 1986 k75c that is getting very frustrating to diagnose. After about 30-45min of running it will shut it self off and die. I can crank and crank and not get it to fire. After it cools down it’s good for another 30 minutes.

When this happens I can see a spark.
I have recently replaced the fuel pump.
The fuel pump relay works at room temperature
The pickup coils have been replaced with used ones.
The connection to the fuel pump through the level gauge is good
The connector below the tank has been cleaned

I cannot replicate this in the garage… and this is the most frustrating part. I have put a hair dryer on the ignition module and the pickup coils without any effect…

Looking for some suggestions.
Thanks
Marco

I wasn't fully trusting the readings on my $10 meter, so I finally got around to getting a nicer one. However, now I'm getting no reading ("OL" / open loop) measuring resistance across 13 and 10. I measured resistance from the temp sensor plug and one of the wires gets 0.0 resistance to port 10, the other sensor wire reads 0.0 at the plug to the temp sensor relay. I cleaned up all the ground connections mounted to that point under the gas tank to make sure they're all shiny/bare metal but it didn't change any of these readings.

I looked at some wiring diagrams available on this site and it seems port 13 should be grounded to the frame under the gas tank. I checked resistance from port 13 to the ground bolt and it reads 0.0 resistance. I also checked resistance from port 13 to the lower battery ground bolt and that also reads 0.0. 

I swapped the temp sensor relay for a spare I have, which made no difference in the open loop between ports 10 and 13.

I also plugged the temp sensor plug into a couple different spares I have, but they all result in an OL reading between ports 10 and 13.

Finally, I checked all the fuses in the fuse box and they all had continuity.

Are there any other grounding points I should be checking, aside from the one under the gas tank and the one under the battery on the left side of the frame?

BMW doesn't require exact alignment so neither should you. When in doubt, check a manual. You must calculate how far off-center it is. Once you've got that figure, you'll be able to calculate the thickness of shim to get it within spec. Attached is an extract from the K1, K100 4V manual explaining alignment calculation and showing the permitted paralever alignment offset value which is outlined in red. I don't know how much concern folks have for the alignment once the conversion is done. Doesn't seem like much to me.  :laughing4-giggles:

I recently upgraded my bike to a paralever swing arm, shock and drive shaft. Problem is the rear wheel sits about a half inch to the right of center. I assume this is caused by not having ABS on my K75s and the doner bike having ABS. Does anyone know exactly how far off center it is and what spacer thickness would be needed to get it on center line? Also, would I need longer wheel bolts to make this work?

I have lots of K75s and K75c parts left over from a build. The K75c parts are from a 1990 and the K75s from a 1988. I want them out of my garage, so I'm making deals. I know the shipping will be high so I'm making allowances. Look at the pictures, if you see something your interested in send me an E-Mail and I'll give you details (Pictures, Weight and shipping cost) Like I said I want this stuff gone.

The Motobrick Workshop / Re: Popping Brick, Only kinda runs on Starting fluid?

Given the machine pops on starting fluid it's reasonable to assume we have spark, if the plugs are dry after you've checked Laitch's suggestion then I'd be sticking a multimeter across the injectors and checking if they're being told to inject fuel.

If they're wet & no hint of trying to fire (but if it still pops on ether) then I'd be inclined to check firstly timing & then compression.

You can hear the fuel pump kick on, after I turn the key to On.
That isn't supposed to happen. The pump on a 2V Brick only starts when the fuel injection relay is transmitted signal from the Hall sensor when the engine is cranking, not before. The wiring from the ignition control unit to the fuel injection relay, the fuel injection relay, some weird wiring from the previous owner, or the ignition control unit itself all could be possible sources of this condition.

Regarding Harris's video:It's possible the piston rings could be seized and lubricating would release them, but that doesn't resolve the faulty behavior of the relay. Are the spark plugs wet or dry after an extended round of cranking?
