Some stuff from France
Cheers - I'll let you know how we get on Yea, it was actually quite awful when I first got it from Dave, it would lurch violently on and off, like someone was snapping the gas from full throttle to completely shut constantly while in first gear.. it was so brutal - thought I was going to snap the chain or root the gear box.. we've come a long way since then.. with replacement injectors, looms, throttle bodies etc etc its a bit different now, just feels like a carb'd bike that is running out of fuel slowly in the floatbowls.. that sort of flat, dropping to 3 cyl feeling.. pretty much what Drews sounded like at Nats.
Tanks off for a look, new fuel pump in and will try a different setup up with filtration and regulation. Pity is I have another fuel tank here but it makes up the left kneeler and I'm too tall so I don't fit in the bike with that one fitted.
Sorry bro, not gonna happen any time soon infact the Agip bike is settling in nicely to its new home. Staying Southern too! Yee ha
Cheers Bob - will take that onboard and follow your advice - Warwick also gave me a number for their fuel filters so if they are much the same I'll grab either or - guessing the one you suggested is from Repco?
2 weeks til next raceday! can't wait.. bound to have it sorted soon, I can taste it
The other tank is almost the same as the smaller one, that's the hi capacity IOM tank , so I'd say the pickup and return is more or less the same. You also can't fit that tank unless you've moved the battery, ECU, regulator and chopped off the side of the seat/kneeler.
Strange that you say it was lurching that bad, it never did that while I rode it at the HAGD, only the full throttle slow starvation, which it would correct if you rolled off from full throttle. On the Saturday of the HAGD, we fitted a spare pump (new one) and it partially solved the problem but it returned again, so we fitted the first pump again, and again it solved it only to return a little while later.
The Sunday racing, chair was fine for 3 laps then died as if completely out of fuel. Rode back to pits after the race had ended and it would rev cleanly and still appeared to have full power, although not able to run on track to check.
Next race we borrowed the pump from Pate's chair just to make sure (a known good pump from a thou injected) that the pumps we were using weren't the cause. Same issue, good for 3-4 laps, died as if total starvation of fuel (was a FULL tank).
Sure is.. have chatted to the IOM riders who used to own it and ran it at the TT
Anyway - will update after the next weekend racing.
Still very odd that it is intermittant if it is fuel starvation.. It's run a practice session and a full race with no starvation at all.. then all of a sudden it decides its not getting enough fuel - never mind. Will keep trying with the trial and error. Bound to crack it soon.
And yea - that tank has been fine with a high horsepower FZR1000 motor sucking the fuel so a little bizarre now its too restrictive but the carbs have float bowls I guess and fuel injection is a bit more sensitive to the fuel supply - will fiddlge around some more
This probably could have been sorted a lot quicker if we had the dash cluster and could use the OBD.. or even run it on a rolling road/dyno but c'est la vie. Money has been a big hinderance as has living in Dunedin with no track close and too many annoying police policing the public roads haha
Our chair would run good and starve after a couple sessions, at the time I thought I was imagining it.
Cause Kai hasn't put it up I guess I better, you can just about smell Goober shitting his pants at 1.07
Track was damp and pretty slippery in a lot of places for the first one
Look at that little Windle fly! Had to button off as Ella wanted to go slower to get more used to swinging etc and err, not fall off again.
I probably should have picked a better place to slow down though in hindsight.. Sorry Goober
shweet, yea overfuelling could be an issue too - we'll see in the end.. cause the end is bound to be near
