....Dear Blog - having not ridden the bike over most of the Christmas period and now having a chance to get out for while - off we went - then after about 2 hours... putt putt putt the bike comes to a silent stop on the Romsey Road .... no warning just power off.... I suspect that it is the fuel pump again.. so, after a while I managed to get it started and head off for home with fingers crossed. Bugger me it ran fine all the way home...
I stripped out the fuel pump and installed a spare that I had on the shelf from the last time (but with a new contact set).... finally managed that fitted and tried to start it but it turned over twice and blew the 10 amp fuse - replaced the fuse and tried again - pop same thing... bugger again. Disconnected the pump and it started fine with the residue fuel in the carbs..
I have now ordered a full replacement fuel pump at the inflated price of £180. Thrice bugger.. I will attempted to change over the contact set from one to the other pump tomorrow and see how it goes - but running out of 10 amp fuses.... So will now have to wait until late next week for the pump....
