Dear All
help please. My 1984 k100 has a bad habit of dying on the freeway.
Here are the contributory factors:
1. ambient temp over 25 degrees C
2. Hot run over 20 minutes including 5 minutes over 5000 revs
3. Fuel tank down to 5 litres (ish)
Symptoms:
a. Uneven revs on steady throttle then engine dies as I pull to a halt.
b. wait for a couple of minutes and will restart on choke!
c. dies again regularly until allowed to properly cool down.
Other information:
i. running on 98 unleaded
ii. previously solved problem by upgrading fuel grade to 98 and running some injector cleaner through system but it comes back when conditions above occur.
iii. the bike has done this consistently since I bought it 10 months and 240000kms ago.
Any ideas?
