Re: [DucatiST] fuel pump er sumtin- Phase II

 

Hey Phil,
Well I'd sure like to hear your results. I've come up with an inline fuel pressure gauge to use should the problem ever arise again. Set the gauge up and watch the pressure to see if it's falling off. This is only slightly more scientific. ;) Best of luck!

So- I've been following these posts with much interest. In fact, I intended to post a similar story yself. I logge3d on and sa w Robert's issues with possible fuel pump problems.

I have the exact same problem; only different :)

I got my '98 ST2 back from its 6m+ checkup. It has 55.7k miles on the clock.
It ran a little rough under 3k rpm, so I tweaked the pot a bit; ccw about 1 hour- not much. It ran better.
After a while, it started runng rough- like it lost power, then picked up. Adding a little throttle seemed to help, but only a little.
It was about this time I saw Robert M's posts.
I've put reset the trim, added fule cleaner, run at least 2 tanks of gas though it.

I have similar intermittent issues- runs great, then it seems to lose power. One difference is that the idle seems to wander. Sometimes it dies; sometimes it floats to 2k rpm. Weird.

In all the time I've had the ST2, it's never run rough. It has been like a well-wound clock.

I've decided to replace the fuel pump, filter, and hoses. It's not the most scientific troubleshooting proecess, but it'll be cheap.

Phil
