Subject: Starting the engine after a few days...
Hello everybody,
I'm watching your letters from the last days and read about the problem with starting the engine after a long(er) period.
I had this problem too with my bike.
And if you read well, you see that I HAD this problem.
There is one 100% solution to this problem.
(I mailed it once already)
The cause of this problem is the evaporation of the fuel in the carburator.
If you start the engine it needs fuel. (nothing new I think)
But it isn't there.
The fuel-pump has to deliver it to the carburators.
BUT, it only runs when the engine turns.
So the first time the engine will not run, but has to turn (on starter-engine) to lett the fuel-pump run.
If you want to avoid the stupid look of a unwilling engine, you have to do following:
Lett the fuel-pump run for about 3 seconds before you start.
There are several ways to do this.
You can do it by a switch or make a time-relais do the job for you.
I won't go into the details any further.....
I already mailed some info a time ago, maybe someone can repost it if it's wanted.
I can't do it myself because my computer is taken apart and have to mail from work.....
Ps: I'm working on a special carbon exhaust for the RD07 now.....
Greetings from The Netherlands.
Raymond Fels.
