There is this perception (Europeans ... Pommies probably) of Australian wildlife that if it doesn't bite it stings.
Well, when camping in the Rockies and Canada, those nighttime noises can get concerning - especially in "Bear Country". I made sure that the food was locked up, we left no scraps and that the family were sure to spit toothpaste into the embers of the fire. With the rest of the family snoring contentedly and me awake listening to some (not too distant) noise, a summer tent (and denial) was all I had for protection.
Been phaffing around with project #2 ... no real joy yet...ie. ignition
Question time: Re K1100LT 1993.
1) Wait for it.... Not starting: battery (newish, 12.75V), fuses (checked and connections cleaned (not DEOXIT - some auto electrical connection cleaner), relays cleaned and checked (switch circuit clicking in each relay, and all make the horn work when substituted, good earth lead (cleaned), new plugs, injectors serviced. Can't hear the fuel pump whining - although removed this and checked with 12V (spun like it should). Now... when testing the fuel tank plug (4 wires: 2 to fuel level sender and two to fuel pump) am I sticking multimeter probes / pins into the plug to determine 12V at this point (to fuel pump can't remember the colours but do have the right ones) OR am I putting red probe into each (female) plug and black to earth on bike? Will ashamedly confess - bit of a novice with this elementary stuff. Question 2 below will reveal that I have the return fuel line (from pressure regulator) disconnected for now - but this should not be an issue I think.
2) replacing fuel line from fuel rail to fuel pressure regulator and then back to tank is errr... problematic. Before I try to start it up I want to flush bad fuel from all the lines. Obviously there is a bit more plumbing than on my K100RT 1984. Tried to remove the air filter assembly but top section is giving me the arse - the crankcase ventilation hose clamp (as it comes out of the top of the motor) is nigh on impossible to get to (even after I drilled a hole in the bottom of the relay box to get a screwdriver onto it. So learned friends... what's the trick? I want to get a dremel to the fuel hose clamps at the pressure regulator but can't create space by removing the air filter upper
3) Oh and another one... put 3.75 litres of engine oil (drained filter) in (as per Clymer) but no oil visible in the oil level glass on side of motor (bike on flat surface). This is an ex-police bike. I could keep adding more but wanted to check if something could be blocking the oil rising or if police bikes might have bigger sumps??
Thanks for any help
Regards
Guy
