Yesterday, left the hoos 0900,up to Perth, Loch Earn Drum up - fishing season again so mair crap and fishermen so continued, Lix Toll ,Killin, Fearnan, Dull, Weem, Aberfeldy on to A9 to Calvine. Had lunch .
Back down through Blair Asshole, Pitlochry, A9 ,Ballinluig, Aberfeldy , down through Sma' Glen, left at Milton,up round Wee Glen Shee, out at Bankfoot, Dunkeld , A9 ,Perth, Newburgh , cuppa lookin' at the Tay, Rathillet, Cupar, St Aundress.
Gless o' vino in the sun.
This morning, bike gear on (lightweight cause it wis warm). Bike out , quarter mile to the second junction from the house, bike cut out.At first thought petrol(knew it was low) but there was 2 bar last night.Crank,crank crank,nah.
Pushed it hame (man you should see ma ligs noo).
Parked up 'warm weather workin' on bike gear' donned.
Hall sensor was gaun around in ma heid like a ping pong ba' in a tumble drier.
Plugs out, cleaned tested- there is a spark hmm, would they still spark if the hall sensor was faulty ,don't think so (open to info. tho').
Plugs in ,crank crank crank, damned sensor.
At this point I started to take the tank off then got way-layed by a phone call.
Came back and Checked stuff (again) and cranked - but no.
Started to take tank of - behold a qr injector connection was nearly out.
Realised that that was me pre-phone call.
Light bulb! there surely should have been fuel squirting - all was dry so separated the connection and cranked over - nothing!
Fuel filter choked - was it changed before I got it???
Tank off pump out - wait a minute that stub end should have a pipe on it - aha - the short loop pipe from the pump to the filter (all of 2 inches ) had come off the filter stub end.### #.
Ok , put new filter on, tank back on ,ignition ,button, wow she started .
The bike had been getting dour to start lately cranking over longer and longer before starting - thank the wee man it was near hame ,phew
