Looks like no...


next step is the main pin-to-pin checks on the ECM. The level of patience may turn into $$ for the dealership to run the scan instead.  :dunno

That's what they said on the Titanic—although substitute iceberg for machine.  :yes

After a winter of on-off-on tinkering, I had started testing the 3 separate computers with frustratingly slow progress when moaning to a friend. He said, all matter-of-fact, "sounds like a vacuum leak" and I laughed at him. A week later, I ordered up the line for $10 from the 3rd carb to the fuel pressure regulator, installed it today. I turned the key just to confirm it didn't work and the bike roared to life and purred like a whiny little kitty.

Problem solved, $10 vacuum line.  :imwithstupid:

The whole business is found in this document. Scroll down to it. I'd give you the exact page number but it doesn't have any page numbers.

and kennybobby is the winner in his diagnosis in reply 15

"The fuel pressure regulator may be stuck open such that the fuel pressure is too low to sustain running above idle speed or when the motor has a load on it.  There is a vacuum line that controls the pressure that is probably cracked if it hasn't been changed recently, it would cause the mixture to run rich."
