Hi,
I've been working on trying to figure out why the bike has been hard to start, and having constant hesitation/back fire issues when practically any amount of throttle is applied. Thanks to the many posts so far, I've started to narrow this down to the spray I've been seeing in the tank.
After taking the tank apart to inspect the hoses, I found that the bypass value on the fuel filter is spraying. I understand that when the bike is primed, that should be normal (Please correct me if that is not right), however when I start the bike it continues to spray. If I apply throttle, the spray still does not stop.
I am under the assumption that this shouldn't be happening, and explains why the bike is starving for gas. Is anyone able to confirm if this is the case? I just want to make sure before I head up and start buying parts from the local dealership.
Many thanks
