Title: engine diagnosis
Post by: simonm on 18 July 2014, 03:47:37 pm

Hiya all.  A friend of mine is having a problem with his fazer and I was wondering if anyone could diagnose the issue from the evidence I have ?

Cheers

Issue: above 6,000 rpm loss of power engine sounds like it is misfiring/rough

Tried
: coils swapped with known good
: TPS swapped with known good
: plugs swapped with known good
: ignition unit swapped with known good
: breather tubes checked
: reg/rec swapped with known good
: all electrical cables checked for corrosion

Apparently the carbs have been balanced recently although I understood that normally affected low revs..

To all intents and purposes the electrical system seems fine.  The brakes, lights, cooling system, clutch and gears work too.

Any ideas please ?

Have you checked the air inlet and filter as well as the fuel filter?

TPS swapped, but was it set up?

Does it have a restrictor kit fitted?

I recently when thru something similar, and it turned out to be a clogged up air filter. Here's the thread with some solid sensible advice from Unfazed and others here.

Tps went to 10,000rpm and rotated back until it went to 5000 rpm and tightened.

Air inlet unblocked and air filter clean.  I'm assured the fuel filter is clean/new but that's a wildcard atm..

No restrictor kit AFAIK. The bloke doesn't think there is a restrictor fitted .

a mate bought a cagiva the one with the tl 1000 engine, it was only just run in when he got it, it wouldn't rev over a certain range, he was a mechanic and had checked all electrics etc, we thought it might be a broken valve spring?
It turned out to be a MISSING valve spring which had never been in. You just never know.
