Now there is an idea....


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

Not had any time to even look at it Dave ..... not sure when I will but guess I need to get it going before the next MOT is due or I'll have to SORN it - which would be a real PITA.

And .... It started again

The problem was actually, as I suspected, quite simple....

First off - big thanks and man love to Griff :)

Secondly - I really hate electrics - give me something simple like a dialysis machine, or heart/lung bypass and I am happy - poxy bike electrics.... Bastards

So - you all remember I asked about the lead that had no connection by they fuel pump relay? And the concensus was it did nothing... No - when I took the cowl off the bridge that was there must have been dislodged... New bridge made

Also, some will remember I had an iffy engine kill switch? Not so much iffy as buggered - replaced.

Finally - always triple check fuses..... Especially the one marked ignition 1.....

(Operator error on my part!)

Anyway, it's running again so am very pleased. I will have to upload my preferred map to the power commander and put it all back together... And fit the brake side rearset but not much

My thanks also to Geoff and Jay - I borrowed assorted bits to eradicate things

Glad its running again. I have spent an incredible amount of time trying to work out fuel supply issues, Im sure I said there were no spare/unused connectors on the relay side !
