Here's my problem...

NBs996 · 24-Jul-2006, 18:15

Right then, it's probably electrical so I'm lost... hope someone can help:

Riding along quite happy, then the engine starts to pop and misfire.
Shortly after, the engine is on/off, like surging and dying repeatedly.
Pull over and it dies.
Re-start her and tickover is as smooth as yer bum, but slowly increase the revs (in neutral) until it gets to around 4k then it dies. Release throttle and it catches again at tickover and it ticks nice n smooth.
Leave it 15 mins, fire up, ride off - all fine and dandy again.

Whatsgoingon????!!!!

I had a very similar problem a few weeks ago and it turned out to be the pressure sensor . Good luck

Ta guys (no, not u timothy!)

Fuel starvation was my suspicion, but i'm not sure that ties up with the on/off power (it's either 100% on or 100% off, not nufink in between). Blew through the filter, a very technical check that was, and it seemed clear. No splits in the short tubes connected to the pump either. Could it be the relay, or is that only active when the pump is primed?

Pressure sensor - d'you mean the air pressure sensor?

If only it was a mechanical prob, then it'd be a piesh of pish!

Yes mate it was the air pressure sensor that could only be diagnosed by plugging it into a pc .
