Help Needed Still No Power

[greavesy7]

I was out driving and suddenly lost all the power from my pinto. There are no noises coming from the engine and I have checked the cylinder pressure and they are all good I have no idea what it is ???

I would check your fuel lines first, to make sure you at least have fuel getting through,

 

i had this and it was a non wented fuel cap that caused it.

 

Fuel line rubber pipes perishing and collapsing can do the same and preventing fuel getting through.

Have you checked the cam timing yet?

[greavesy7]

I have checked cam timing

 

I'm running out of ideas

 

The fuel lines are new the only thing I can think it a blockage

 

Could a coil cause poor power

[sandy77uk]

stripped and cleaned filters? are you getting a decent fuel pressure at the rail/carb?

[arf!!]

always a first check is have you got a spark at the plugs, pull a plug out put the lead on it and hold it to an earth get a freind to crank the engine over while you check for a good blue spark, a yellow-ish spark points to a bad condensor, ? is it a pinto on standard electrics

[greavesy7]

it has an electronic ignition with bike carbs

[greavesy7]

also it wont rev past 5000

[arf!!]

so it runs BUT!! its just gutles

[greavesy7]

yeah ticks over fine but has no power and wont rev

[Peter Bell]

Sounds like it could be a partially blocked fuel line to me. You haven't used any silicone sealant near the tank have you?

[Snapperpaul]

Electronic ignition?

Which one?

Has it returned to a basic map and a lower rev limit?

[greavesy7]

its an electronic one but im not sure which one it is

[steve_wilson]

my moneys on fuelling

 

i'd check/replace the filters first, theyre only cheap so a good place to start.

 

i've known the metal pipe part on the sender be totally block full of cr@p before too, so might be worth take it out and seeing if there is any debris in there.

 

does your tank have a breather?

 

are you using the standard mechicanical pinto pump?

[greavesy7]

my tank doesnt have a breather but i think the cap is vented

 

its running the bike fuel pump

 

if it was fueling surely the bowles wouldnt be filling and causing it to splutter
