The Pic

Today I rode my FJR again. It’s running great, its clean, and no longer taking up the car’s spot in the garage. First, my apologies. The fuel pump was the obvious culprit. It was the last thing I touched before the real trouble began. I really didn’t want to have to remove it again, and I...

David - you had me thinking, but no, the wires are attached to the right plugs. :-) Re: checking the fuel pressure on the rail: does this have to be done with the Yamaha gauge and adapter? I'm not crazy about spending the ~ $270. Anyone checked the fuel pressure with your standard (auto) fuel...

Quick side question: why would my atmospheric pressure sensor read 100 in diagnostic mode (d02)? It's currently 762.8 mmHg here.

Back to it. I tried running the engine while the gas tank was open, but no joy. No corrosion found in any of the wire connectors, either. I removed the air filter and used a spray bottle to squirt a small amount of gas into the intake while cranking. That worked, to a degree. I could keep the...

I finally had a chance to take a look at the spark plugs. I pulled each one in turn; I first pulled the cap off and inserted a spare plug. I cranked the engine and looked for a good spark. Then I pulled the installed plug out of the engine, cleaned, checked the spacing and re-installed. I made...

Thanks for the help and related info, RossKean. That's a nasty looking pump! When I had the pump out of the tank and disassembled, I got a good look at both. The tank interior looks clean, and the pump is completely clear of any debris. When the fuel flows out of the pump, it is also completely...

Hi, I'm a new guy, looking for help. I have a 2005 with low mileage, and the engine wont start. The problem began with a working engine (was on a ride last weekend), but was having idle problems and rough running when cool. Before doing anything else, I opted to change the plugs. It was past...
