Hi new to the group and new to the fz6 world. Been reading others post about the problem I’m having but not finding answers.
History and what I’ve tried.
2004 with 2203 miles on it.
Bought the bike with a rusty tank and the PO told be it had a clogged injector. He said he had another Fz6 when he bought this one and put the tank from the other bike on this one and rode it for about 20 miles. Switched the tanks back after an attempt of cleaning the tank and one cylinder was running lean so he thought he clogged an injector and shut it down and it sat for awhile before selling it.
I bench tested the injectors and they all sprayed evenly after cleaning them. The inlets were dirty.
I cleaned and sealed the tank
Tested the fuel pump out of the tank and had 36+ psi. Put it in the assembly and in the tank and get 10 psi and that is with a new regulator. I can hold the throttle Wot and after a few cranks I’ll get a burp or two out of the motor. Then release the throttle and it will start run for 20-30seconds then die again. Could the seal in the fuel pump assembly be bad and leaking fuel? Bought a replacement pump and still no start. I have not tested the pressure from the new fuel pump in the tank yet.plan on doing that today.
Do you guys have any ideas on things to check?
Any ideas on seals for the sending unit? I don’t really want to drop 100’s of dollars on a sending unit to maybe have the same problem.
I will check pressure today from the tank again.
Thanks
