Good morning all,
A couple of days ago, I changed oil and filter. Went to start it up to run in the new oil into the filter and the bike would not start. Acted as though it was out of fuel? Was not though. After turning the key off and on and the kill switch a couple of times, it fired right up.
Now, this morning, I notice that when I hit the kill switch to activate the fuel pump in the starting procedure, I hear a slight pump noise but not normal. Remember, this bike has 67k miles and I'm aware of what's normal and not. I turn the key off, wait a moment, turn it back on and then the kill switch and the pump kind of drags down. Very quick sound, not the prolong 2-3 second pump. Turn the key off again and wait, Turn it back on and the KS again and the pump energizes properly and it starts right up.
Is there a pump relay I should be looking for that may need to be replaced? And if so, where is it located? I don't think its in the KS as it does energize slightly. Just not fully. Any ideas?
Thanks,
rv
