Just a quick one if someone is near the pc to help.
Broken down.
Irratic running then died at lights.
Starter motor connection was bad.
Tightened it up. Would not start on button but clutched it ok.

Would not start this arvo.
Bump start again.
Died after 2km
Stuck at a servo.
Fuel pump works, pulled it fromt he tank to check.
Fuel pump not working in the tank.
Hit the starter, bit of a whirr, pump stops and tacho needle goes past redline.
Battery ok.
When I had it running, bump start after pulling fuel pump it makes an intermittent clunk. Just once, waits a bit then clunks again.
Thinking starter is kaput or in need of a service?

A hasty reply is a good reply.

Which bike? It goes clunk, engine? starter? or fuel pump?

Cheers guys, back home and good.

Seems the alternator was not charging and the battery was fine on the test, about 12 and a bit, but I failed to check it when the engine was running rough.

Charge light also failed to come on? Blown globe? One more thing to check.

Old alternator runs smooth so I have no idea what the random knock was. Monkey knuts were good.
Time for a strip down and a bit of a check.

Sounds similar to the way mine was behaving before I did the starter motor brushes. Crazy but true.
The clunk? hmmm, dunno about that.

brushes to the alternator ? no field current ? = no charge indicator

Hey rooossskkkkoooo, this may help.

It's from a Range Rover, but it's quite similar to our K bikes. Sort of. In a way. Kinder. Maybe.

Anyhoo, have a look.
