Hi all
I have some problems with my VMax after winter. Engine doesn't want to run neither on choke nor without it. I suspect fuel pump. Why? Well, usually when I was turning on ignition there was this ''ticking'' sound coming from pump when filling the carbs with petrol. Now when I turn ignition on I only hear single 'tick' from fuel pump and v-boost starting. When engine starts it runs very rough for few seconds (with or without choke) and 'dies' few seconds after start or when I try to throttle.
My question is:
Should fuel pump kind of run when I short connect it to the battery? I took fuel pump off the bike and connected it to fully charged battery. All I'm getting is this single 'tick' and nothing else. How my pump should work when connected to the battery? Should I feel it 'running'? Am I right saying that my fuel pump just died?
Thanks in advance
