998(9)

I have tried another tank to see if the pump was not working properly and same result. As stated before it went to alta mura for its wheels to be done I think it was running fine. It was there for about three weeks and the tank off most of the time. They covered the inlet trumpets though. Then cold and damp for a while. So obviously it is holding out for a holiday to Bologna!!

Used a jump lead. Have not got the spark plugs out largely because the Ducati supplied tool does not seem to fit. So will check them.

I should say of course that it is the same engine as the 996R, (bore stroke, compression) except it seems they squeezed a little more HP out of the 999s engine. Other than that it is all 998.

Few more items to add to the list. Possibley moisture in the petrol as neither tank had "fresh petrol". However would image you would get a few splutters out of it at least.
