VizslaSteve Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Strangest thing with this bike. Bike sat all winter and summer (sad). Found battery was dead. Replaced the battery. Woudln't start. Starter motor comes on- but won't catch... Seems like no fuel... Found that fuel pump was bad. Removed and replaced pump and filter. Found that fuel sender was also bad- broken wires, corroded etc. Replaced. Tried the assembly of sender+ pump plugged into the 4-pin connector on bike. Fuel pump doesn't come on. Check voltage at 4-pin- when pushing start button I do get 12V. Get 12V at fuse. So it seems like I have voltage to the connected, when depressing start- but as soon as I plug in the fuel guage sender I don't get any! I measured voltage at the fuel pump when the sender/pump is plugged in to the 4 pin and start is depressed- 0V? I do however still measure 12V across the fuel pump fuse at this stage... I cannot for the life of me figure out what is wrong.... Any suggestions greatly appreciate. Link to comment
Roger_Pivonka Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 If I were you, I would head over to the www.ibmwr.org and join the "tech list" and repost your question there. It's a MUCH more active board than this one. I'm gonna guess that a 21 year old bike that SAT for so long will have some corrosion on/at various connectors and that may be your problem. Check ALL fuses too. and EXERCISE ALL SWITCHES TOO. AND get a can of DeoxIT to clean those connections (http://www.caig.com/) OR the critters have chewed through some wires and you get to hunt for the broken wires. Link to comment
