Running trouble 1994 RD07 AT
 
Good afternoon all.

New here and looking for some much needed help.

I've had my 1994 RD07 Africa Twin for about a year now and it hasn't skipped a beat and quite frankly is the best and most pleasurable bike I've ever owned. Until my journey to work on friday.

I approached a set of lights which changed to red so I rolled off the throttle and glided to a halt at the line where she cut out. Much smoother than a stall, she simply stopped running and hasn't started up since.

I checked all fuses which are fine. The starter relay works, there is plenty of fuel, i have compression and the starter turns nicely on the press of the button.

My thoughts are perhaps the fuel pump given it's age or perhaps a blocked jet?

Wondered if anyone else has come across this before and if so what the remedie would be?

While looking at the price of a replacement fuel pump I came across a fuel pump points repair kits. Does anybody have any knowledge of these or their reliability/functionality?

Many thanks in advance for any help or advice you can give.

I have recently repaired my fuel pump with a repair kit like that. It is fairly easy to do. There are some instructions on YouTube which help a lot.
To be sure the fuel pump is the problem, you can bypass it to get fuel in the carbs. You can run the bike without a fuel pump when the tank is full.

Is it the fuel pump ???

Pull off the outlet hose off the fuel pump and turn the engine. If the pump is working it will pump fuel. If not, get yourself a Facet pump from Ruggedroads.com


Is it electrical ???

Pull out the HT coils on the front and rear cylinders (one at a time). Get a spare spark plug and earth it to the bike's engine and see if you can see a spark.


Check these first and report back.
