intermittent faults

Yep, check the in tank furl pump, especially the teabag pre filter.

You can reverse flush the hp filter with brake cleaner too, or do the hp filter bypass mod

Mick, a spray of brake or carb cleaner in air box, will tell you if it's fuel problem.

I didn't realise until fairly recently that brake cleaner in the air box worked so well. My mate (Nigel, for those that remember him from MCR) stores his 1982 GS750T in my garage and, when it didn't fire, borrowed my BC. Worked a treat.

Thanks lads, I suspected fuel as well so this morning I took the tank off and removed the pump.  It was clean as a whistle but I stripped it anyway and cleaned it with brake cleaner.  I have done the pressure relieve valve wire wrap mod so the valve was still in position.  Put it all back together and the bike started no problem.  I'll check it again tomorrow morning.

Grog so it's similar to "Start You Bastard"

Yeah Mate, don't know the ingredients but all do same job, easy way to tell if a lack of fuel fault in a no start situation.

Went out early this morning for a test run, bike ran perfectly so I don't know what was wrong with it but it's gone now.
