Hot start issue
Posted: 01 Jul 2021, 15:11
Hi All, I had an issue with my 1992 750 starting last week. I was on a tour with some mates and had ridden 550km over the first two days. Day 3 was about 200km and one part was a climb with a lot of low gear bends. Anyway, after this cli\mb, I pulled over to take some pictures and turned the bike off.
It then refused to start, even with a bump. It appeared to have no spark.
Seat off and tank loosened, checked the leads into the distributor (or whatever passes for this) with no issue. tried starting and it was fine.
Didn't have another issue for the rest of the trip but have just now had an issue where it felt like it was struggling for fuel - similar to when the fuel tap needs switching to reserve,.
Some thoughts from my mates were possible overheating of the HT leads/distributor but I'm unsure.
Anyone come across similar issues?
