Try it yourself if you don't believe me, you might even save a few quid in the process.
Sorry this has taken so long, work has been manic.The fuel pump behaviour has changed, clicks loudly for longer , filler open or closed it does the same. I switch the ignition on and the pump runs (great, if loud), if I turn off and back on several times it repeats the process for the same length of time roughly every time. My understanding of the operation is that it works on pressure and shouldn't lose it that quickly. When I first got the bike it would click a couple of times each time turned the ignition on (shorter when warm or had not long before primed) as I would expect, not sure why it's doing this now. It is quite loud, video: https://youtu.be/vI0JQTH54Bk. Bike runs fine but don't want to get stranded with a dead pump. Any ideas?
As far as engine is concerned, took it to a mechanic for a listen today, said it was likely the cam chain (https://youtu.be/l4SvuQYGRm4), Suggested loosening the two mounting bolts on the tensioner until clicks on the auto rachet, then wind the mounts back in. Not heard of this method before but would be easier than removing everything to get to it! Any thoughts on this?
Interesting you say about the indicators, didn't know that, will be done this weekend, got some black silicone in the garage. The chain alignment marks are not accurate then, I'll check that, shouldn't be out as chain and sprockets were recent when I bought it but best to check.
Had the carbtune on it today, TPS was also out. At idle it's around 180 mark, had to take it up to about 2.5k revs to get in the 230-250 range.
I'd say the HT leads are originals, I replaced the spark plugs only a few weeks ago but original leads. Assume the NGK caps have the same connection, not sure the official name but no screw cap? Else I'm stuck there, threw the tops away .
I may leave the caps for now then, I runs fine at revs but I will do the dark test.Understood on the carb sync, read somewhere about bringing the revs up on the intake I know that for the future. Careful what you read I guess. Appreciate the advice, got a couple of jobs for the weekend ahead.
