Title: ok....let`s try another angle !
Post by: ade the blade on 18 May 2012, 05:32:26 pm
ok fellas, i fully understand your reluctance to `loan` me your pride and joys for a little trial and error session, so maybe a few of you would be kind enough to do a quick running test on your machines (fzs600 gen 1 ) and give me some feedback if you could. ok, all i need you to do is start up the bike and let it just idle. now place hand (or whatever :D ) on the fuel pump and count approx how many `pulses` per count of five seconds there are. next, increase and hold revs at approx 5000 rpm and count `pulses` again for another count of 5. This may sound a bit silly but it will help me calculate a more accurate fuel flow reading. please help us on this one fellas. I really do appreciate your help. cheers Ade.

Good luck mate, if it wasn't for the nasty pollen allergy I have these days, I would help you.

im happy to give it a go too tomorrow, is a 2002 foxeye comparable to the gen 1????

good thinking ade  ;) ....ive done the test on my bike  :rolleyes ...you know what i`ve done with mine so please bear this in mind when you compare firures...not test riden yet so may still have the stutter
 
           idle...2.5 pulses.................5000rpm....7 pulses
 
if anyones else is thinking of doing the test its easy and takes a couple of minutes.....theres no need to remove the tank,you will find the fuel pump just underneath the right hand side of the tank,above carb number four,easy to get your fingers on the pump to count the pulses.
 good luck ade and dont forget to let us know how you get on  ;)

what a mate, what a mate !!!!!!!!!! cheers for the free plug and precise instructions. your figures already have got me thinking as my poxy pump at that rate only puts out 1 `pulse` every count of 5 when idling, so thats p&ss poor to start with :rolleyes and approx 3 when revved up. i`m really hoping matey that some of all this testing etc will pay off for you with your bike too.......after all, you are my stuttering `twin` :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin

you lot are not bike nuts , your a bunch of comedians  :lol    made me laugh after a hard week...cheers
 
just remembered ive bypassed the fuel filter with a straight peice of tube so might affect the figures
 
clives 5000 figure ,2 more than mine is interesting .............

years and years ago i ran a cb 750 f1 honda bought it brand new!!!£1100 on the road!!!now ile try and get this over to you before i croak thru old age!!at approx  33000 miles i got the same prob as you,.....and after alot of money exchanged hands with the stealer" it was fialy down to ...weak diaphrams 2 where very pappy !! no holes just weak?.... i replaced the lott anyway and it ran mint after that?......but i will warn you they not cheap?.....going bk to 1976....yes that old :'( cost me over £100 then!!!! so in a way i do hope its not them?.....but you never know???????? clive

thats got me thinking about my bike now...didnt replace the diaphrams as the ones in the secondhand carbs felt a bit stiff and were a little mis-shaped,my origanal ones very very flexable  :rolleyes ....cheers clive ;)

tried that matey. bit hit and miss. seemed to get a load of airlocks constantly in the fuel line. yep give me gravity feed anyday ;) . see what tomorrow brings. thanks all. Ade

Post by: clayt74 on 19 May 2012, 12:11:15 pm
ok, just checked what my fuel pump does;
at idle = 1 pulse every 5 secs (depending on how you timed it it could be considered 2 pulses in 5-6 sec duration)?
at 5K = 6 pulses (counted 3 times, counted 7 pulses twice)


not sure if that's gonna help with the comparisons you are trying to do?


good luck mate
Title: Re: ok....let`s try another angle !
Post by: 110% on 19 May 2012, 12:30:45 pm
At idle mine pumps once every 4.3 seconds taken as an average from 1 minute of counting.
If I held it at 5000rpm for one minute my next door neighbour would most probably come around and stick a kitchen knife up my arse.

I doubt my results would be affected by the fact that my downpipes are riddled with holes again (which does affect the performance of the engine but probably not the fuel filter timings) but thought I would mention it in the interests of fair science.

I'm guessing for a true experiment you would have needed the results a 5000rpm as well so I'm not sure how helpful I've been - although if you lived in London I would be more than willing to lend you my carbs for an afternoon.

swoping the ecu and removing the filter made no difference to my bike so i put filter and ecu back on and tryed the pulsing test again,sane results as before.......idle....2.5 pulses...........5000....7 pulses.
have you had chance to spend so time on the fazer ?
