Subject: Re: Fuel problems AGAIN !
On my 93 RD07 it has happened a few times that the bike has stopped, just like no fuel.
It has all the times been the fuel pump. Humidity inside the pump, made it stop pumping.
I just removed the black plastic cover in the end of the pump. One screw. And then moved the parts with my finger. They where obviously stuck. And then everything was OK. Used som spray to lubricate and get rid of humidity (565 or somthing like that). Have had to do this a little less than once a year. Takes 5 min even on the road if you have a screwdriver.
Once it was enough to knock on the pump to make it work again.
Maybe the same on your bike? If it is OK after removing the pump and hoses, and reassambelig again.
