Hello GS'ers. I have searched the forums and need help please in understanding how to test the fuel pump in situ using the under tank connecter block.
A bit of background. I was tootling along the motorway here in Hungary yesterday, bike was going fine then shuddered to a halt. On trying to restart the bike I could not hear the fuel pump prime. I tested the fuse No 6 and swapped the horn and fuel pump relays over but no joy. The relays work and the fuse was good. I got recovered to home.
When I attempted to start the bike this morning the fuel pump made a half hearted attempt at priming, you could literally hear it gasping, I pressed the starter and the bike fired up. It died shortly after and the fuel pump made no further attempt at priming.
I read a long thread on here started by B4ndt regarding his fuel pump problems. In the thread it was suggested by Steptoe to run the fuel pump direct from the battery. This is what I need help with. Which wire(s) in the connector block do you attach the battery to. I have done a voltage check between the brown wire and the blue and white wire on the supply side of the connector box and get a reading of 11.7V.
Thank you very much.
