gizza5 Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 Rode the Jack Wood a few weeks ago and about half way round the bike started to cough and not rev out, thought it might be water in one of the electrical terminal blocks? Rode again today after taking removing all electrical terminals, drying etc. prior to this same symptons, 2 laps the bike started to cough and not rev out? Not the plug as I tried several with the same symptons, if I let the bike cool down and started again, could do a couple of sections and same thing? Now someone told me with those symptons that it could be the ignition coil giveing an intermiitant spark? Could this be it or has anyone else come across this same problem? If so whats the cure? Good job I'm not riding the SSDT wouldn't make it to Bradilieg............... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perce Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 (edited) You need another bike there when yours is hot & swap bits with it to find the cause. I once saw a 315 doing this & a swapping session soon found the problem which would only occur after the bike was warmed up.

tdm900 Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 (edited) Is it when the fan cuts in? I had a very similar problem with a rotax aprilia, whenever the fan started up it seemed to steal some power from the ignition circuit for some reason. In the end I ended up wiring the fan into lighting circuit, that cured the problem. Edited April 27, 2008 by TDM900 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jza Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 You checked the air filter and box for water? A blocked air filter would start it coughing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizza5 Posted May 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Finally found the problem which happens to be the fuel pump failing when it gets hot, I won't take the praise for solving it..................Mick from M Sport, Top Man So now we have found the problem wonder if anyone else has had the same or similar fuel pump problem and bar buying a new pump (which is my only option to be fair) at megga Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gizza5 Posted May 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Ouch!I would be trying to buy one online if that's possible? Agreed but where do you start looking? Part No. in the book is a Mont/Honda part no. for the whole unit that goes n the tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

copemech Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 (edited) Kinda makes that $15 dellorto look good, does'nt it? Oh well, same result as if you had actually flipped it on the tank and damaged it, but not as much fun! The Japs are still getting even! Of course, being a FI system, I have often wondered just how these things would withstand such things as water and dirt over time as well? A likely factor? Some things that must be considered in the trials environment, and your shed, and your gas cans and filtration system of your fuel supply? The possibilities are many! And there is usually a relationship there in a pump failure! If you ask, they do not build bad pumps! FWIW! I really don't know what is there, but I would presume there would be an inlet screen in the injector as well, so if your pump is mechanically failing, the injector may be full of it too?

dixie Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Mick from M sport just read my reply from 28 th of april Sounds a bit pricy,makes the flat tank with pump fitted seem a bit better value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
