It was not the tank (pump) connector. I plugged it in and out probably 20-times. But.... We don't know what it was. Something was wiggled when I removed the tank.I would strongly suggest that you pursue the cause of this whack you are experiencing.Thank you for the advice! I think I'll ignore it and wait until I'm all alone on a dirt road in the middle of the Chihuahuan desert until I consider it! lol
The fault could lie beyond the immediate pin-to-socket connections of the plug. The fault could be among the wire connections
within each plug to the pins and sockets. The fault could also be among the wire connections to the fuel sender within the tank, from the fuel sender to the pump or the connections at the pump itself. Moving the tank might be re-establishing connection. The disconnection will occur when riding jostles the wiring enough to cause it.
Take extra water and sunscreen to Chihuahua—not that I want to interfere with natural selection. :giggles
from memory when u turn key to ignition u should hear fuel pump for about 3 seconds and then turn off
if pump runs continuously possibly relay stuck
it would run at revs with the fuel pump disconnected, but stall when i connected the pump
it turned out that the fuel relay was stuck in the on position, causing overfueling
i was surprised too that i could ride the bike even with the pump disconnected as long as the revs were high enough
That all seems a little whacky.
With 2V K-motos like punche's K75 and your K100, turning the ignition switch to
On does not activate the fuel pump for 3 seconds. That happens on 4V motos.
On your motos, pressing the starter button enables activation of the fuel pump. Closing the contacts in the fuel injection relay ("the on position
") is part of that activation. The fuel pump then runs
continuously during engine operation to supply pressure to the fuel system as long as the fuel injection relay contacts are closed. One of the ways for
depressurizing the fuel system to disconnect hoses is to remove fuse #6—the fuel pump fuse—then start the engine. The engine will run then stall from fuel starvation regardless of the throttle's position. These engines won't run for very long without fuel pumps in operation.
Your engine's overfueling was caused by some other condition.
