Fuel pump noise
« on: 05 July 2018, 08:33:54 pm »
Hey guys.
Strange issue here today. I was out on holidays for a couple weeks and my bike was idle during this time. Before i went on holidays my rad was leaking so i removed the radiator and prepared the bike for the new one that i ordered.
Today i managed to get the new radiator on the bike. But when i tried to start the bike it would not start. Even with the choke on. 
I managed to get the bike started, but noticed that the fuel pump was priming even with the bike running.
Eventually it died. after that it starts but after a few minutes it dies.
Please note that i have just recently service the bike  -  clean the carbs, sync it, change the HT leads and plugs, oil, filter, air filter etc.


Not sure if this is related to the replacement of the radiator. I would not think so.


Thanks for your help

Simple things first, check for a kinked fuel pipe coming off the underside of the tank, and make sure the fuel tap is fully turned on.
More people are born because of alcohol than will ever die from it.
