| Another Dead Bip Okay, here's the story. Reassembling my recently acquired 98 748 Bip after getting frame coated & bits 'n' bobs done. Got to the point of starting it last week & it fired up fine. Checked all the levels OK. Ran it up until hot enough to energise the fan. Discovered petrol leak from pump plate o-ring. Fitted new one along with fuel filter. No more leaks. Fired it up again (repeatedly as you do) & ran tank dry & bike died. Put gallon of fuel in today. Fired up fine but refused to answer throttle, died & wouldn't restart. Felt like fuel starvation. Engine turns over. Fuel injection whizzes. Spark at front plug. Am puzzled. Have I :- 1. Reassembled pump assembly wrong or filter wrong way round (don't think so). 2.Fouled plugs running long time at tickover. 3. Let battery voltage run down until things don't work happily. 4. Front plug looks suspiciously dry. Have put it on Optimate & opened red wine. Help anyone. Robbie   |
