gen1 fuel filter(s)
ptolemyx:
As well as the fuel filter between the tank and fuel pump should there be what looks like a fuel filter between the fuel pump and carb's? I've good flow to the offending article and poor flow out of it????? If it's an auxiliary filter will I be okay to bypass it or is it some kind of check valve - doesn't seem to be a one way valve just poor flow blowing through it in either direction. I think a previous owner may have fitted it??? Pic shows the item in the hose between pump and carb's (temporary routing whilst working on the bike):-
Mustang:
Id get rid of it unless your tank is rusty
Falcon 269:
Non-standard, doesn't belong there and if it's interfering with fuel flow, ditch it. :)
unfazed:
Remove it it is not suitable for a pump system as it is too restrictive, there is a already second filter in the T section between the carbs before fuel enters the float bowls and the one before the pump is sufficient. Make sure you get a good quality or OEM filter as it is protecting the pump and the carbs from crap
ptolemyx:
Thanks guys for confirming what I thought. Bike had started getting symptoms of fuel starvation. This extra fuel filter now eliminated. Good fuel flow to the carb's now.
However.......will not now start, spins over nice and fast on the starter (in neutral, clutch in, sidestand up, lights switched off) but it's like there's no spark. Tacho doesn't move to indicate anything. Yes, I have the fuel switched on under the tank. All ancillaries (lights etc) working fine. I can't see any fuses blown. Will it spin over with a faulty clutch or sidestand switch? Is there a tilt sensor I may have moved? Bike does not have stock half fairing, does one of the little black boxes in the forward wiring loom that I taped in place behind my headlights have something to do with the ignition circuit as I've just changed the brake master cylinder and may have moved something in that area?
