| Engine swap....NEED HELP PLEASE!!!!
I am attempting to retrofit an 02 998 engine into a 98 916 frame. I received a known good engine, complete wiring harness, thottle bodies, ecu, airbox and sensors.
Off of the 916, I used the front wiring harness, instrument cluster, ignition, sidestand, coils and tank.
The engine is in, but it won't start. Here is what it is doing and what I know so far. When you turn on the bike, all the electrical works. (lights, horn, signals ect.) I DO NOT hear the fuel pump and the bike will not turn over. (nothing at all from the starter). I do get a yellow light that comes on on the gauges. (I have never seen this on before.) The light will turn off if I disconect the side stand switch plug (which I still have the self retracting kind). It looks like that switch was bypassed as the two wires coming off of the plug were connected together.
I have not hooked up the fans or the tail section wiring harness yet and one of the coils IS NOT attached to the frame yet as I had to relocate it. Any ideas out there??? Thanks in advance!!!  |
