Default K1 starts but cuts out after a second or two.

Hi,

I haven't visited the site for ages.

My bike is a K1 650 naked with no mods. It's done 32k miles .

I dropped it in the Picos Europa a a couple or three years ago and it developed an oil leak. I managed to ride it back home where I sort of left it in the garage. I decided to 'sort' it.

It would not start.

I first examined the spark plugs which seemed to be fairly worn. I changed those. And tried to start the bike again; it started immediately but cut out after a second or so.

I checked the fuel flow from the tank to the fuel pump and from the fuel pump outlet. Fuel pumping out okay.

The bike starts as I said above, after it's been left for a while, but cuts out almost immediately and then wont start at all (for a while).

Any ideas guy?

Thanks

John
