Default Re: K3 no power and not keen on starting

Right actually passed my test today HORRAH. Went out this afternoon and gave the bike a proper run.

I have adjusted the secondary throttle valve sync and made sure they are closing properly and stuff. It all seems pretty good now and the power feels fairly smooth, seems to build around 5000rpm, is this the general way the SV rides?

The only problem I have now is it still doesn't like starting after it has been left for a while. It takes about 5-6 goes to start, each time it starts after a few rotations and runs for about 5 seconds before it dies. The last start it doesn't die and it sits there idling @ 1000rpm, after a few minutes it seems to fast idle properly. If I touch the throttle at all before it starts to fast idle it just dies...

I know it's a bit random but any ideas people? The only think I noticed when I'm trying to start it early on is when it stalls the fuel pump primes again immediately and takes a few seconds. I thought the fuel pressure wouldn't be that low at this point though...

All ideas welcomed

She runs though - and I can ride!
