Hi guys,
I am new here. I have just had the pleasure of buying a 1995 F650 Funduro.
It's a great bike but it's not been the most well cared for in it's life. So far it has a new battery, fluids, brakes, tyres etc.
It runs fairly well most of the time. It idles a little high about 2000rpm when the engine is hot. Just this morning I was riding to work when I suddenly lost all power. I pulled over and the engine was still ticking over fine but I couldn't give it any revs.
It lasted about 15sec before it jottled back to life. It was fine for the rest of my trip. I did notice that the previous owner has installed an external fuel filter between the two fuel hoses so perhaps this was restricting fuel flow? If this was the case however wouldn't it effect the idle speed as well and potentially stall the engine? Also had the thought that the high idle could be an air leak from the rubber carb manifolds.
My other thought is I know from doing some research that the regulator can go bad. So perhaps I should try replacing it? It does feel a bit similar to an electrical issue I had on my 1992 K75. Where the ecu was making poor contact.
Will do some work in the meantime. But any suggestions welcome.
